Combined Training and Royal Windsor Qualifier
The next Team event is the Festival of the Horse Combined Training team competition being held at Norton Heath on Saturday 11th February. This is a team event only (sadly no individuals) for juniors and seniors. Each team will consist of:
2 riders riding Prelim 14 dressage test and showjumping round at 75cm – horses/ponies to have 0 BD points or BS winnings
2 riders riding Novice 27 dressage test and showjumping round at 85cm – horses/ponies can have up to 124 BD points and up to £175 BS winnings
Although the qualifier is on a surface, please be aware that should you qualify for the Championships these are held at the Festival of the Hunter and will be on grass, so you must be prepared to ride on grass if you put yourself forward for this event.
Also being held on 11th February at Norton Heath is the Royal Windsor Dressage Area Qualifier. This is an individual competition to qualify for the finals at the Royal Windsor Horse Show. It is open to seniors and juniors, riding horses or ponies with no BD points. The test being used is Prelim 12. Area 8 Liaison Committee have agreed to restrict clubs to 5 competitors per section (ie 5 juniors and 5 seniors) so if you would like to be considered for one of the places please send me an email registering your interest and giving a brief outline of your recent competition achievements. If we have more than 5 people applying to do each section then results will be taken into consideration for selection process so it is important that you tell me how fantastic you and your horse are!
Dressage to Music Qualifier
This is an individual competition being held at Sparrows Hill on Saturday 26th May. There will be classes at novice (0 points), novice with up to 124 points and elementary for seniors, and novice for juniors.
Please email me to register interest and request further information.
Please note that the Championships are held at the Aintree arena in Liverpool, and if you qualify the Club does expect you to go to the Championships so please don’t apply if unprepared to make the long journey.

This will be held again at Stratford Hills (on grass) on 23rd June . Classes for Juniors and Seniors at Prelim – Medium level, including pairs. More details nearer the time!

The Area Eventing is probably being held on Sunday 10th June at Ely Eventing Centre (subject to confirmation) and the Area Showjumping will be at the Tendring Showground near Clacton on 30th June for juniors and 1st July for seniors.
