  • Prize giving for each competition will take place 30 minutes after the results have been published.
  • Prize winners will be expected to attend prize-giving on foot but smartly dressed (i.e. in correct dress for that discipline although competitors may wear team colours rather than jackets).

HELPERS:

  • Horse Trials: two nominated helpers per team are required.
  • Show Jumping: one nominated helper perteam is required.
  • Dressage & Riding Test teams: one nominated helper per team is required.
  • Team managers are responsible for completing the helpers form with names and contact details for each helper.
  • However where a club from Area 6, 10 or 13 is entering just one team at these championships and that team is competing in either dressage or riding test, there is no need to provide a helper.

EQUINE PASSPORTS/VACCINATIONS:

  • Horses competing at the L&SE Championships should be vaccinated in accordance with BRC rules but vaccination checks will not be undertaken on this occasion.
  • Please note that the horse’s passport must always accompany the horse when it is transported including to any competition as per The Horse Passports Regulations 2009. Competitors are therefore advised to ensure they bring their horse’s passport with them to these championships.

HEADGEAR:

  • Protective headwear (as defined in the BRC Handbook 2017) must be worn at all times when mounted whether competing or not at a London & South East competition and must show a visible orange BRC hat tag.
  • If your hat needs tagging please bring it to the secretary’s marquee for checking/tagging when collecting your number.
  • Competitors are responsible for ensuring their hat meets the required standard.

HORSE TRIALS COMPETITORS:

  • A XC number bib will be issued to each competitor (with the number already inserted) and therefore competitors do not need to bring their own. Please bring £10 per competitor as a deposit for this number.
  • Medical arm bands must be worn for the cross country section of the horse trials.

NUMBERS FOR DRESSAGE, RIDING TEST & SHOW JUMPING:

  • Card numbers will be issued (separate numbers if doing more than one discipline) – these must be used as it is difficult for stewards to see bridle numbers in a large open area.

PARKING:

  • Please follow the direction of the car parking attendants.
  • Due to limited space, no cars (unless towing a trailer) to be parked in the horsebox parking area.

GENERAL

  • Please take your litter home
  • No mucking out of vehicles to take place on the showground
  • Water is available in the horsebox park
  • Farrier in attendance
  • Vet in attendance

DIRECTIONS

Munstead is located on the B2130 Godalming to Cranleigh Road, just outside Godalming. The postal address is Heath Farm, Heath Lane, Godalming, Surrey GU7 1UN.

SatNav users please note directions below and use post code GU7 1XA

If coming from the M25: go south down the A3 past all Guildford turnings (IGNORE Sat Nav as it will take you through the middle of Guildford). Take the turning to Godalming and Guildford Crematorium. Take signs to Godalming Town Centre and then pick up signs for Cranleigh (B2130).

At the traffic lights between Homebase and Waitrose in Godalming go straight on. At the next set of traffic lights turn left onto the B2130 (signposted Cranleigh and Winkworth Arboretum).Go up hill past all the parked cars and over speed bumps.

At the pedestrian crossing by the church slow down, go over one more speed bump and turn left into Heath Lane (IGNORE SAT NAV as it will take you straight on). It is very narrow (but plenty big enough for a horsebox) and is very easy to go straight past. Go down the lane and take the first left into Heath Farm.

If coming north on the A3 come off at the Milford exit. Follow signs for Godalming. Pick up signs for Cranleigh and the B2130. Turn right at the second large set of traffic lights in Godalming onto the B2130 (signposted Cranleigh and Winkworth Arboretum). Follow directions as above.

If coming from Horsham on the A281follow signs for Godalming and approach from the Godalming direction. The turn into Heath Farm from the Cranleigh end of the B2130 is blind and is too tight for a lorry without doing a three point turn in the middle of the road!
