Western Morning News Support British Showjumping South West Club Showjumping
Friday 07 June 2013
British Showjumping is pleased to announce that the Western Morning News will be supporting the South West Club Leagues and Championships 2013 – 2014. The Club initiative was launched back in 2011 to give competitors jumping between 70cm – 1.00m the chance to compete for minimal cost.
The Club Leagues and Club Championships for the South West region will now be known as the Western Morning News South West Club Leagues and Championships and information will be posted on the British Showjumping website in addition to featuring in the Western Morning News.
Club membership provides plenty of perks and benefits whilst also being good on your pocket by offering an annual membership for both yourself and your horse/pony for just £30 with entry fees being capped at just £10.
Club membership offers fantastic opportunities to any horse, pony and rider combination who have no registered results at National Amateur 90cm, British Novice, Stepping Stones, Pony British Novice or above over the past three years. So even though your horse or pony may have some winnings on his/her record, if you are a new rider it doesn’t stop you joining as a club member.
With the horse/rider combination being the key factor, you can see how Club membership offers an exciting opportunity. The other big change is that there is no age limit on riders competing ponies so the days of someone having to register their pony as a horse once they were seventeen are long gone!
Bill Martin, editor of the Western Morning News, said: "The equestrian world is central to rural life in the Westcountry and we are delighted to be working with British Showjumping on this initiative.”
You may ask why you should consider joining up as a Club member:
- For a start, you don’t have to worry about clocking up prize money and jumping out of affiliated classes before you’re ready to upgrade.
- Your horse or pony's full performance record will be posted on the British Showjumping website for you to visit at any time.
- In addition to collating and uploading your horse or pony's full grading information online, Club members will be eligible for regional leagues and championships.
- Club members are eligible for all training programmes, have access to a bi-monthly online Showjumping magazine and receive their own friendly easy-to-read handbook.
- Members also have peace of mind in the knowledge that the £30m public liability insurance is included in their value-for-money Club membership fee.
