What's On

TEAM ENDURANCE EVENT
This year Endurance GB (EGB) is once again offering a Team Endurance Event to affiliated Riding Clubs on a national scale, following the successful inaugural event in 2010 and then a second event in 2011. Riding Clubs are invited to form endurance “squads” of three to six riders. Each squad can then enter a team of three or four combinations accompanied by one or two individual combinations (making up to six in total) into a qualifying ride of 30 to 35km (about 20 miles). The qualifying ride can be at any EGB ride that has a suitable class in its schedule. THERE IS A SURREY RIDE ON 4 MARCH 2012 AT TILFORD

Potential riders do not need any special equipment, particular breed or type of horse to get started. Only the rider, their horse and normal riding tack is required. Riders do not have to be members of Endurance GB in order to compete, but they must be current members of their affiliated Riding Club. All Riding Club squads must declare each horse and rider combination with the national organisers before they enter any qualifying ride.

A team who completes a qualifying ride successfully will have its team score entered into a League Table for the Region in which the Club is based. A squad can then, if it chooses, enter a second or subsequent qualifying ride. The team score achieved at the second or subsequent qualifier will replace the existing score in the League Table if it is higher than the existing score. The team scores are calculated from the speed achieved over the course and the horse’s pulse at the final veterinary inspection.

The top squad in each League Table for the ten Regions and the top ten squads on a national basis excluding the top ten from the League Tables will be offered a place in the Team Endurance Final at The British Horse Feeds Red Dragon Festival of Endurance on Sunday 7th October 2012. Some wild card places may also be offered at the discretion of the national organisers. Stabling, corralling, camping, lorry parking and refreshments will be available at the venue. Up-to-date Influenza Vaccination Certificates will be required for the final, as specified by British Riding Club rules.

The rules of the competition and full details of the Team Endurance Event can be found on our dedicated website: www.rcteamevent.endurancegb.co.uk

National Qualifiers - preliminary entries

For all national qualifiers, preliminary entries must be sent to the British Riding Clubs Office in addition to the local entries sent to the Area organiser. Preliminary entries must reach the BRC office no later than 21 days before the date of the qualifier or by 30th June whichever is earlier, with appropriate fees. Each BRC championship now has its own schedule on the BRC website which includes the preliminary entry forms. The relevant form(s) should be downloaded from the BRC website - these can be sent via post or may be e-mailed to brccompetitions@bhs.org.uk and payment made on line by following the links on www.britishridingclubs.org.uk

Making a preliminary entry to an official competition constitutes a binding obligation to pay the area competition organiser an additional entry fee irrespective of whether the team/individual competes or not.

FLU CERTIFICATES – please note that for all BRC official competitions (including national qualifiers and championships), your horse must have a valid flu certificate which means that the dates of vaccinations must comply with the following:

  • Horse must have had its first two vaccinations at least.
  • The second vaccination must have been given between 21 and 92 days after the first one.
  • There must be a third vaccination given between 150 and 215 days after the second one.
  • Thereafter the horse must have had booster vaccinations at intervals not exceeding one year.
  • None of these vaccinations must have been given on the day of the competition or on any of the 6 days before the competition.

However from 1 January 2011, providing that a horse has been given the first two vaccinations correctly and there are no errors in the annual vaccinations for the past five calendar years, then the horse will be accepted for BRC qualifiers and championships.
