The SPSS is delighted to announce that there will be a Young Dressage Pony Championships this year at Vale View Equestrian, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire on Sunday 31st October. This Championships is being sponsored by the SPSS, supported by BD and organised and run by VVEq as part of their BD Affiliated Show on that date (so there are other classes running offering the opportunity for Young Ponies to be entered in another class as warm-up if desired)
There are sections for 4, 5 and 6 year old ponies and (this year) there are no qualifiers, so entry is direct to the Championships and is open to BD registered and un-registered ponies up to and including 148cms (149 cms with shoes) in height and riders/owners need not be BD members and may be any age. Although late entries will be accepted if there is still space in the class, early entry is advised. |

Having run as part of the British Dressage Breeding and Young Horse Championships for a number of years, with the reorganisation of the BD Young Horse classes in 2009, the Young Dressage Pony Championships did not run last year. However, the SPSS have worked with BD and VVEq to get this event together this year and BD hopes to develop the Championships further for next year – but this does depend on the level of support received this year.
Spectators are welcome at this event and a running order will be available including information about the breeding of each pony. The Vale View Restaurant will be open serving hot and cold food and drinks and there will be other information about the SPSS and our graded stallions, mares and youngstock. |
