SEARCH FOR A STAR PONY CLUB RIDDEN CHAMPIONSHIP
SEIB Search for a Star have joined forces with the Pony Club to offer a Lead Rein and First Ridden Championship for children 10 and under, plus an open class for the older children that will look for horses and ponies that are suitable for all round Pony Club activities, have good conformation, an excellent way of going and a fabulous temperament.
There will be no jumping. These classes are open to children and young people that meet the Search for a Star criteria and are members of the Pony Club.
Classes are open to any type of horse or pony, that is athletic enough to be an all-rounder but correct enough to be a show horse.
There will be extra awards for the best riders.
