MDRC DERBY DAY

at Southcott XC: OPEN TO ALL

SHOW JUMPING AND CROSS COUNTRY – INDIVIDUAL AND PAIRS

The competition will consist of a round of show jumping (9-10 fences) immediately followed by a shortened cross-country  (12-14 fences). Competitors will jump the round of showjumps then go directly onto the XC course without stopping. The winner in each class will be the competitor with the least number of faults over both rounds who is closest to the total optimum time. 

PAIRS: the showjumping will run as a relay, the second rider to wait in a designated area whilst the first rider competes and until the first rider has passed a whip to them to commence their round, the whip must be exchanged within the box. As soon as the second rider has jumped the last jump then both riders will go together straight onto the XC course, which will include dressing fences.

Schedule and entry form are here: MDRC May 27th 2012

 

 

 

STRONG PERFORMANCE BY MDRC AT AREA 19 DRESSAGE

Mid Devon teams finish 3rd, 9th and 12th!

Having started with 5 full teams, a flood of last-minute lame horses and/or riders threatened our entire entry. However, heroic organisation by Ines reshuffled the survivors into a workable entry with some interesting results! See RESULTS page for full account

 

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT from INES is HERE

AREA 19 WINTER DRESSAGE

Ines writes:

The winter dressage will take place at the Duchy, Stoke Climsland, on Feb 12th (not 5th as previously advertised). Teams only for Juniors and Seniors. Two riders of each team to ride Prelim test 18, the other two Novice 24. However, having looked again, these are the same tests as last year, and I will check and let you know if things are different. No BD points are allowed for Prelim, and up to 124 points for Novice.
Any questions re tack or rider eligibility to Ines, please.
Only horses with correct flu vaccination certificates may compete.
All interested riders, please contact me by email. Charlie, I have noted your email. Please give me their names etc, and tell me which one is the more promising, as I want to put the teams together according to chance of getting placed.

It would help if you could give me the full name of the horse on his/her passport at the same time.

We should get the schedule soon, and then will see how much it costs.

I hope to get at least two teams together  -  Ines
