Members accumulate points over the year at all events.  The member accumulating the most points in each category at the end of the year wins.  Points accumulate from when a member joins or renews their membership.  Points can not be back dated.

Points are awarded as follow:-

The best placed club member in a class is awarded 6 points.  The next placed member will receive 5 points, and so on.

First place = 6,  Second = 5,  Third = 4,  Fourth = 3,  Fifth = 2,  Sixth = 1 points

For Gymkhana, points are awarded as follows:-  First place = 1,  Second = 0.75,  Third = 0.5,  Fourth = 0.25

It is the Riders responsibility to ensure that they are eligible for the classes they enter at an event.  If a member is subsequently found to be ineligible, no trophy points will be awarded, regardless of placing.

As the club is affiliated to the British Riding Club organisation there is the opportunity to compete at the Area competitions. For more information on teams go to the Training tab and click on the drop down Team Info tab.
