Entries are open on nominate and will close on the 3rd June.
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 competition 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 class of the Eventer Trial competition.
