Every year, we have Area competitions in all disciplines that provide members with the opportunity to compete against the other 17 PC branches in Area 9\u00a0 to earn a place at the Pony Club Championships and the Area 9 Regional Championships.<\/p>\n

Qualifier and championship competitions are a step up, they can be technical and ask questions of ponies and riders so training ahead is a must and a key to success. You should aim to attend as many training rallies in the run up to an event as possible, (a minimum of three) and more than that is preferred. Talk to our rally organisers and instructors to find out what\u2019s expected. There\u2019s a lot of fun to be had as part of a lovely, supportive group of members and being armed with plenty of practice and knowing what\u2019s to come will put you at a real advantage and help give you the best experience.<\/p>\n

Criteria for Team Selection 2026 (dressage, SJ and eventing)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Competing in a team is fun and rewarding, and we encourage members to get involved. Members who are keen to represent the pony club should be aiming towards either Regional (entry level 70\/80cm) competition or Area (90\/100\/110cm) competition.<\/p>\n

The Regional and Area competitions take place in June\/July each year, and depending upon results, may qualify individuals and teams for a place at the Regional and National Championships, held usually in the second half of August.<\/p>\n

You are expected to be available to compete at the Championships, should you qualify.<\/p>\n

Members are required to meet the entry fees for these competitions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n
