NS Regional Rally

Central Nova Horse & Pony Club, Truro

Deadline for Entries: Monday, June 27, 2016

Regional Rally will be held in conjunction with Central Nova Horse Trials. Riders will be competing/participating in both Regional Rally and Central Nova Horse Trials.

Rally is a team competition to encourage teamwork and cooperation and includes riding (dressage, cross country and stadium jumping) and stable management (practical knowledge, oral knowledge and turnout). All participants should be familiar with the Canadian Pony Club 2015 Rally Rules. There may be further updates for 2016.

Since NSPC Rally is being run in conjunction with Horse Trials, the Rules of Horse Trials are in effect for the riding portion. Participants should be familiar with the Equine Canada Eventing Rules where tack requirements (bits and nosebands) and dressage tests can be downloaded.

1 Chaperone – required at all times during rally hours and will be needed to help out
