Exciting Changes for the Equestrian Life Showing and Working Hunter Championships 2012
The Championships designed for the riding club competitor and keen amateur, not the professionals.
Here come the qualifiers for the 2012 Equestrian Life Showing and Working Hunter Championships! After much deliberation we have changed the venue and date for the Championships and we are also opening up the classes! Ponies UK Summer Championship Show at Newark & Notts Showground will host our Championship Show on Saturday 11th August 2012. This is earlier than in previous years rather than being one of the last championships of the season, is in the school holidays and means that our competitors can enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of Ponies UK too! We have our own dedicated Equestrian Life show rings throughout the day. Our Supreme Championship will take place in the main ring at 8pm on Saturday evening under the spotlights!
Due to popular demand, we are now including youngstock, young handler and stallion classes at the Championships. We are also simplifying the qualification system, for example, if you are placed 1st or 2nd in a showing (flat ridden) qualifier class, you are eligible to enter any suitable showing (flat ridden) class at the Championships. So let’s say you qualify in the 14.2hh and over style and appearance, you will be able to choose to enter the ridden cob, ridden hunter, or
riding horse/ hack as appropriate to your horse, plus the ridden veteran, concours d’elegance and any other classes for which your horse is suitable. The classes are still open only to amateurs; anyone who has ridden or qualified for the RIHS or HOYS in 2011/2012 is not eligible.
We have a super, comprehensive list of dates for qualifiers already:
