In order to qualify for a rosette and sash, riders competing in the classes listed above will be asked to identify themselves as Pony Club Members on their entry forms.
James Loffet, Chairman of Pony Club Showjumping said "The Pony Club is thrilled to be involved with the British Showjumping National Championships, and this new initiative will recognise just some of the successful Pony Club Members competing and winning at a high level. Our Members gain a competitive edge through the world class training provided by The Pony Club, and we want to start promoting their achievements.” James continued to say The Pony Club is excited to be working with British Showjumping, and he is looking forward to continuing to build on the partnership between the two organisations.
