BHPC Combined Training competition - 2 August 2026

Hi BHPC members,

Your club is running its annual PCQ Official and Unofficial Combined Training event this year on Sunday 2 August. Combined Training involves riding a dressage test, followed by a show jumping round. On this competition day, riders from other Pony Clubs will be coming to compete for rosettes and ribbons. There are also prizes for the riders in the Official and Unofficial classes with the best scores.

It would be fabulous to have a big team of BHPC riders competing on the day. In 2005, our youngest rider competed at 4 years of age in the Unofficial assisted class. I also encourage our adult riders to take part in this competition day using the skills developed and practised in our adult rider lessons. Why not give the competition a go in a friendly, supportive environment at your own club. It’s a great way to start your competition experience.

The CT program is attached for your information. Nomination will be open via the nominate.com.au website on Monday 22 June. Parents of riders competing at the event will be required to take part in either setup on the afternoon before or in different roles on the day, including canteen, pencilling and acting as rail stewards, at times that fit in with when their children are riding.

In the Official classes, riders must have a Performance Card for their horse. Performance cards to register your horse are available on the PCQ website using the application form at Application to Register a Horse (jotform.com) or you can register your horse via your PCA JustGo membership profile using Credentials/Add Credentials/Horse Registration and make your payment by phoning the PCQ office.

To assist our riders in their preparation, your instructors are planning a training day on Saturday 18 July including dressage coaching with guest coach Di Mackie and practising showjumping. Save that date and keep an eye out for an email with more details in early July.

Any questions about the competition or obtaining a performance card, please contact me via email chiefinstructor@brookfieldponyclub.org.au or phone 0400 952 002.

Kind regards

Sandy

BHPC Chief Instructor
