Area 20 2008 competition entries
To enter teams we have to provide helpers for all events; this has proved difficult in the past. To compete in an area 20 event you must either provide a named helper for the day or commit to help yourself at another area 20 competition. The nomination must be done when you enter. If you withdraw at the last moment you will still be expected to provide the helper or attend yourself. We hope you agree this is a fair system & that you will continue to support the club.
Flu vaccinations- You need an up to date vaccination record to compete in area 20 competitions. This will be checked by the chef dequipe before the competition & by the area 20 officials at the competition. Remember you should carry a copy of your horses passport when you travel your horse.
Area 20 Newsletters
The new 2005 rule book is now in force and clubs should check prior to entering any qualifiers that their members are eligible for their chosen event. Club Chef d'equipe/ Team Managers should be in possession of the rule books when attending official events.
Please be aware of the regulations regarding transporting of horses to competitions. It will not be the responsibility of Area if you are stopped by the authorities and asked for your passport. The only documents Area will insist on are flu vaccs and BRC membership Cards if required. Having said this, most passports now include the flu vaccs. We have been made aware in Area 20 of an increase in random checks being made by DEFRA, Trading Standards and the Police.
Horse Trials
Remember that there is a misprint to the H03 Dressage test in the 2005 Rule book:
Point 9 should read FXH change the rein..........
Point 10 should read Between C&M Working canter right.........
As published in Spring "Rider Magazine" and the April BRC Newsletter.
Some of the the Horse trials schedules gave the height for the Senior Open as 1.0m it should read 1.10m as per 2005 rule book. This was due to a printing error, most were corrected but case a few slipped through please check your members are aware.
Best wishes Andy Chadwick Area 20 Chairman.
