Festival of the
Horse Challenge, Washbrook Farm, Aston le Walls
The format of the
Festival has undergone many changes with the
introduction of the Festival Challenge last year. This competition was
championed amongst competitors in 2009 so it returns in the same format
for
2011. This competition is designed to be a test of a horse and riders
ability
to negotiate a show jumping course together with a piece of hunting
country at
a fair hunting pace. The course will consist of seven to ten show jumps
followed by eight to fifteen cross-country fences, which may include up
to
three dressing fences in the Junior and Senior Pairs Championships
(optional at
area qualifiers). Qualifiers will be run at Club and Area level to give
members
the maximum possible chance to qualify.
There are four challenge classes:
- Junior Novice and
Open for teams of four riders and individuals
- Junior Pairs
- Senior Novice and
Open for teams of four riders and individuals
- Senior Pairs
