The series consists of nominated (approximately 8) multi day Competitive Rides. The first day, which should be completed successfully, must be an 80 km CR, the second day to be a distance of choice but must be a CR of between 40 to 80km. Both classes to be declared prior to the ride closing date but the rider may downgrade on day 2 if they wish.
To compete for the Trophy a horse and rider combination must successfully complete at least three rides of the series.
The combination will have to succeed on both days for the points to count towards the Trophy and prizes, but normal EGB points will count for any class ridden successfully on either day.
Points for each ride to be awarded on the basis of distance and the Performance Formula scores to find a series winner. Normal distance and grading points to be awarded each day as for any CR except at GHS where the Gold, Silver and Bronze rules will apply.
There will be a Trophy and £500.00 to the winner, £300.00 to the second placed combination and £200.00 to the third combination.
Ride specific rosettes will be given to all competitors who complete each ride.
All combinations of horse and rider will need to register to take part in the series and should send an S.A.E. to the office at Stoneleigh, they will then be issued with a “Series Card” which should be completed and signed by the Technical Steward on the day of the ride.
