**** NEW THIS SEASON ****

Show Jumpers  this year enter either Class 4 (pony)   or Class 7 (horse) to qualify to win a big cash jackpot at the last points show. 

 

To date we have sponsorship of £100 this will be added to during the season by £2.00 for every entry made.    The more entries the bigger the jackpot.

 

The first three at each show will qualify, disregarding those already qualified,  but they must have competed at three shows in these classes to compete in the final.

 

The final will be run as a pony/ horse  Pairs Rescue Relay.    Each pony will be paired with a horse.  The draw will take place at the last show.

Please note that these classes will also be run under our points system for an award at the end of the season

Our grateful thanks to Alan Birch Horses for their generous sponsorship

 

CLUB REPRESENTATION

 

During the season we enter teams and individuals for the BHS National Championships  Qualifiers.   

 

We will  affiliate to Festival of Champion Winter Show and Myerscough Supreme Inter Club Challenge and North West Counties Show Jumping for the benefit of members who are interested.     Qualifiers are held  for  Blue Chip Festival Of Champions and  Prestige Dressage Championship  Dressage Shows.

 

For 2008 we very much regret that we are unable to subsidize the cost of  the entries for any of the above events  and these will have to be met in total by the individual. If you are interested in taking part please put your name on the notice board or contact the Committee member listed in the schedule for team entries.  Please note, no entries will be made until the money for the entry is received

 

If we are fortunate enough to qualify for the British Riding Clubs National Championships, these expenses will be met by the Club.
