Area 11 Team Events

Calling all Club Dressage Riders!
There are 2 Area dressage team “friendly” competitions being held locally soon, with the best performing Club / team over the 2 events being awarded the Area dressage trophy. Is anyone out there interested in representing the Club as a team member at either or both of these events, please?
The 2 competitions are for teams are of 3 riders (we don’t have to send the same 3 team members to both, by the way). However, I’m afraid these teams must be either all Seniors or all Juniors -we can’t send mixed age teams to these events.
Horses should have no BD points to compete at Prelim. Level.
They can have up to 124 BD points to do the novice tests.
The April 6 (Good Friday) round is being run by us as part of our Merrist Wood show – tests are Prelim. 4, Prelim. 14, & Novice 34.
The April 15 round is at Priory Equestrian Centre in Frensham, run by Wey Valley RC. Their tests are Prelim. 12, Prelim. 14 & Novice 24.
If you’ve already expressed an interest in competing at either show, could you please reconfirm that to me. Or if you’re interested in taking part now, let me know that as well. Or if you want to have a chat about what you’re committing to before you decide, give me a call.

Future Events
Would you like to be part of a team representing West Surrey RC at the Area/National and local (London & South East, L&SE) qualifiers? All disciplines are included (see below). If you fancy joining a Club team or entering as an individual (where available) for any of the events, contact the relevant team manager (see details on the Committee page of this Newsletter). They’ll be able to tell you more about which tests / heights are used at each qualifier, and sign you up! We really don’t only want people who are experienced in their discipline – we’re also very happy to include those who are just keen to have a go (and who promise to turn up on the day! – we’re happy to pay your team entries for you, but some of these events aren’t cheap).
Or, if you’re in the locality anyway, why not drop in and support your team? This years L&SE championships are being held at Mattingley on 25 September, for which our horse trials team has qualified. The L&SE Dressage to Music Championships are at Sands Farm on 23 October.
Below are the dates currently available for all qualifiers that our Area 11 is running during 2012.
