The EQUIDRY Chairman's Cup 2023

The Chairman's Cup will be a new class at this year's JCB Pony Club Championships 2023

Sponsored by EQUIDRY, The Chairman's Cup Class will bring a new format of Eventing to The Pony Club Championships, featuring a Trot Up prior to The Dressage Phase, followed by the Show Jumping and finally, on the last day, Cross Country in reverse order.

The Chairman's Cup is a team and individual competition.

How can you qualify for the Chairman Cup? 

There are a few ways you can qualify -

  • By competing and being successful at your Area Competition in The Chairman's Cup qualifying Class.
  • All those qualified for the PC110 Championships at Wellington are automatically qualified for the Chairman’s Cup at The Pony Club Championships.
  • Individuals may qualify if they have a minimum of 4 MERS. A MER can be gained at BE100 or PC100 and above (with verifiable results on ponyclubresults.co.uk or eventingscores.co.uk) with:
  • No more than 45 Dressage penalty points
  • A clear round Cross Country with no more than 30-time penalties
  • A Show Jumping round with no more than 12 jumping penalties.
  • MERS must be gained between 21st August 2022 and 31st July 2023.
  • Those members who qualify through the MERS route may be added to a Branch Team to increase the number to four.
  • They may not displace a member who qualified at their Area Competition unless that member is unable to compete.
  • In the event of oversubscription priority will be given to those who qualify via their Area competition.

Qualification for The Equidry Chairman's Cup can be done directly via Area Competitions or by a MERS route. It should be noted however by members that should the class be oversubscribed priority will be given to those who qualify via their Area Competition. So to be sure you progress to The Championships get your entry in for your Area Competition's Chairman's Cup Class!

Further details will be announced soon, but The Chairman's Cup will have some exciting prizes!
