AREA 15 QUALIFIERS .............
What is an area qualifier you may ask yourself?
Well, each riding club throughout Britain belongs to an Area. We are part of Area 15. When we hold an area competition this gives all the riding clubs within Area 15 an opportunity to compete against each other and depending on the competition rules the winners then compete nationally in a championship.
Are you aware of the commitments when you enter into a Qualifier?
1. Your horse needs to be up to date with the FLU vaccine. Please show your
passports to Janneke before you enter to make sure your flu vaccine card
is correct.
2. You need to take your passport plus your vaccination card (if separate) with
you to the qualifier. These need to be declared before you compete. You
will not be allowed to compete if there are any errors or you forget your passport.
3. All qualifers need to be paid for in advance. You do get a portion of your
entry back if you go to the qualifier.
4. Before you enter, make yourself familiar with the date of the championships.
Even if you don't think you will qualify, you may get a shock on the day as we
have in the past. You will be expected to be available for the championship if
you enter the qualifier.
