31 May – Eventer Trial

Enter online on nominate  

Format the same is in previous years….

The first competition will be a pairs cross country.  The course will be quite short, with the fences having various height options so that all pairs can be catered for.  There will be three “dressing fences” which the two horses must jump as a pair (ie side by side).  Points will be given for these fences and penalties deducted for refusals and falls.  There will also be an optimum time.  The winning pair will be the one that goes clear with the most points for style over the dressing fences.  In the event of a tie, the winner will be the pair closest to (and under) the optimum time.

The other competitions will be the Eventer Trials.  They will consist of a round of showjumping followed immediately by a timed obstacle course (testing the all round handiness of the horse and rider) and then (immediately again) by a cross country course.  There will be four classes: 60cm, 80cm, 95cm and 105cm.

Any horse may compete in the pairs competition as well as one Eventer Trial competition.

Prizes will be offered for all events.  Ribbons to 8th place.

For the Pairs competition, fancy dress is encouraged and there will be a prize for the best fancy-dressed pair.  However, please note that this competition is to be run under the relevant EA rules.  In particular, it is the responsibility of each competitor to ensure that they wear the correct safety helmet and boots.

CIC 2014 draw 1730 For those in the EvA80 and 95 classes, make sure you take note of the rider # before you, as the dressage is not in strict numerical order.  The numbers are such that your jumping phases WILL BE in numerical order.

Please read the rider notes.

A map will be published shortly.
