Good luck to all our members competing at this competition. A team/class rep has been appointed to act as a chef d’equipe on the day. Please make yourself known to your team rep on arrival, who will have your numbers. There will be a tack check prior to each class. The team should ALL present together please and also try and walk the course together, (team/class reps to organise). If you can plait your ponies that is great – all adds to the high standards our branch expects! Any problems on the day please see your team rep. Remember you are part of a team!
The following information has been sent to us by East Cheshire, please read carefully and comply with their instructions.
The competition will be held in the Arenas adjacent to the indoor school (the Carpet Arenas).
Arena 1 (Classes 3 – 6) is the nearest to the indoor school.
Arena 2 (Classes 1 & 2) is the furthest away from the indoor school.
Collecting Rings for each Arena are located in the centre, adjacent to their respective competition arenas.
Each collecting ring will be divided into two – with a collecting ring and a practice arena for each competition arena.
Entry to the practice area may be restricted if necessary – please follow the direction of stewards.
PLEASE DO NOT STAND, MOUNTED OR UNMOUNTED, in either of the practice arenas.
You should not be using your allocated practice arena until shortly before your competitive round is due to begin - stewards are instructed to refuse entry to those not due to ride within a given time.
The collecting rings are intended for riders, trainers and bone fide grooms – they must NOT be used for spectating. There is ample viewing provision on the other three sides of the competition arenas.
