Carrot Corner

Versatile Horse Competition
Sunday 10th October 2010
At Barnet Hill, Blackheath Lane, Wonersh

We have been very lucky that Katherine has managed to find us a location to hold our very first Versatile Horse Competition by kind permission of Mr and Mrs Crittall.

The competition was originally invented by Joy Taylor who took the basic idea of Le Trec and made it into a competition for all types of horse and rider.

It consists of three phases, Obedience, Control of Paces and PTV (Obstacles)

The Obedience is a simple style riding test which is marked on accuracy rather than the way of going. Please note this is not a dressage test and will not be marked as such, the emphasis is on obedience.

The COP is a measured distance where you canter or trot (depending on which class) as slowly as possible and then return in walk as quickly as possible.

The Obstacles are 10 varying types all of which are things that would prove that the horse can be obedient out hacking. In Class 1 they will be negotiable in hand and will vary in some cases from the obstacles in Classes 2 and 3, most of which are ridden but some of these may be on foot.

There will be three classes

1. In hand
2. Novice for those who have never been placed above 3rd in a VH competition
3. Open We have been having a lot of fun at the events we have participated in and hope you will come along and have some fun too.

There will be lots of rosettes!!

If you want to ask any questions please contact either Cass or myself and we will try to answer any queries.

BRITISH RIDING CLUB’s
TEAM ENDURANCE EVENT

hosted and organised by
ENDURANCE GB

Endurance GB is hosting and organising a series of qualifying rides for the above event, culminating in a final in September 2010.

This Team Event is an opportunity for you to come along and try endurance riding in the company of
your friends and colleagues. Teams can be made up of three to six riders. You don’t need any special
equipment, particular breed or type of horse to get started, just you, your horse and your normal riding tack.

Qualifying rides are about 32km (20 miles) and are in beautiful areas of the country, very often over private
land. There are 12 qualifying rides in all, with at least one in each of the Sport England Regions.

The Final will be held in September at Southwell Racecourse in Nottinghamshire, where the finalists will
have the opportunity to complete the competition by riding down the all weather track to the finish line.
