Dear Members,
Once again we have a busy November for Area 19 Qualifiers, so make sure you put these dates in your diary :
13th October- FOH Q – Winkleigh – Southcott. Tracey Baker is the Junior team manager; Pat Hatch is the Senior Team Manager for the FOH Q.
3rd November – Senior Intermediate and Novice dressage – Duchy College. Caroline Wills is team manager.
9th Nov Arena Eventing – Bicton. All A19 sections will run on Saturday 9th
17th Nov. Junior day. Junior Novice and Intermediate dressage morning, + 70SJ (mixed junior & senior) Junior 80 & 90 SJ afternoon. Duchy College
16th Feb – Senior 80 & 90 SJ, SJ 100 & 110 (mixed Senior & Junior)
Schedules soon, but do remember that prelim entries close with head office 21 days prior to each event.
New rules mean that horses may now take part at different levels – maximum of two + must be consecutive heights (so 80 & 90 cm = yes, 80 & 100 = no). Eligibility criteria must be met for each section entered, Those competing in the 70cm section cannot compete at another level. Competition format has changed so that second round is now run as a two phase competition with the JO included in the course. This means that horses taking part in more than one section aren’t over jumped. Format at championships remains over two rounds and separate jump offs.
