How can I get involved?

As a member:

This competition is open to any Pony Club Centre or Centre Plus Member around the world! If you would like to take part in this competition, speak to your Pony Club coach and ask them to help your Centre submit an entry.

As a Pony Club Centre:

If you are a member of staff for a Pony Club Linked Centre (such as a proprietor, coach or volunteer) that is interested in taking part in the Howden Centre Equitation competition, entries can be made via the button below. Entries are made on Horse Events, and can be submitted before your videos have been filmed and uploaded (these can be added at a later date, you can edit your entry right up until the closing date of the competition).

A team is made up of four riders, two of whom will perform the Centre Equitation 2024/25 Walk & Trot Dressage test and ride a round of 8 show jumps (max 50cm). The remaining two riders will perform the Centre Equitation 2024/25 Walk, Trot & Canter Dressage test and ride a round of 8 show jumps (max 60cm).

The Show Jumping course plan to be followed can be found at the bottom of this page.
