Aram Grange 14th July 2018

A new concept in Equestrian competition. The emphasis is on enjoyment with a small competitive streak added in. We will be using one of the best Endurance tracks in the north with only a few hundred yards of road work.  Open to all ages, PC,RC, EGB or just leisure riders.  The competition  will be run in the following manner.

• A round of show jumping. 2 bonus points for every jump cleared first time.  1 bonus point if the jump is cleared on the second try. The competitor will then go straight onto a short Endurance ride. Total bonuses for show jumping of 16 points.
• Competitors will be marked on their way around  the ride on such things as their politeness, their management of the horse/pony on the roads and tracks, their ability to open and shut a gate, their knowledge of crops that are growing etc, etc. Total bonuses of 10 points.

The Endurance ride will be timed at 10km per hour. A bonus point will be subtracted for every 2 minutes above or below the optimum time. Bonus points will also be deducted from those halting before the finish in order to arrive spot on the optimum time.

• The horse’s heart rate will be taken as you cross the finishing line. One extra bonus point added for every beat slower than 50 beats per minute, with a maximum of 10 bonus points.
• As is always the case with rides run by the BWY pony club, the course will be well marked with direction arrows and maps will be available to pick up on the day.
• All children 12 yrs or under must be accompanied by an adult with a maximum of 4 children to 1 adult.
• Refreshments available all day.
• Bring plenty of water as this might not be available at the venue.
• Classes 1,2 or 5 may be used as a PC novice qualifying ride.
• Entries through horsevents  (www.horsevents.co.uk). Entries close on Tuesday 10th July.
