ALBRIGHTON HUNT PONY CLUB EARLY SUMMER PROGRAMME 2018

Dear All

Hope there is something for everyone in the new programme that takes us up to Junior Camp on the 23rd July and includes Area Training sessions. (Please see the discipline tabs for further information on Area Competitions and the qualifying criteria).

For Area Eventing selection our team trainer, Sylvia Farmer, has asked that you are already competing at the current level required for Area and she will need to see your results please before selection is made for the team. Please attend the Dressage and SJ training sessions and if we require to carry out XC training, we will book a session at Berriewood before the Area Competition.

Look forward to seeing you all soon. Please remember that I need payment and a completed attendance form to put your child’s name on the rally page for the relevant rally. Also, please don’t forget to read the dress code for rallies which is on our website.

Best wishes
