The Premier Centres Association is pleased to announce its forth coming series: 'PCA 33GrandSlam’

The Premier Centres Association is pleased to announce its forth coming series:
 
‘PCA 33GrandSlam’
 
The Championship comprises nine rounds, one to be held at each of the nine member centres of the PCA. Each round will offer a minimum £3,000 prize fund and Horse & Rider Combinations finishing in the top ten placings will also score league table points in each of the rounds. Those finishing highest in the points league table will win free entries for the rider at each of the centres where the combination competed in the series - £200 at each centre to the first placed, £100 to second and £50 to third, a package potentially worth a further £3,150.00.
 
The series is aimed at horses that are Grade A&B with the classes being run under the new Table A10 rule. The course will start at 1.40m going on to 1.45m and the finishing at 1.50m in the jump off. Horse & Rider Combinations that have started in a least 4 of the first 8 rounds will also be able to score double league table points in the ninth and final round of the series.
 
The series represents a total investment of over £30,000 by the Premier Centres Association and continues the significant support of these major competition venues for the future of British equestrianism..

‘The PCA 33Grand Slam will enable good horses to compete over testing tracks built by leading course builders, for fantastic prize money at centres that are investing in their facilities on an ongoing basis. Following the success of the PCA Futura Championship over the last two winters, this series continues a new era in the development of a proactive working relationship between the venue owners and the BSJA. '
 
British Show Jumping Association Head of Communications Maria Clayton states:
 
‘It is absolutely superb to see the PCA consolidate their resource in such a positive way. The PCA continues to invest in producing top quality jumping series but also much valued sponsorship to the sport. The PCA venues all offer first rate facilities and its great to see a fantastic series touring these venues through the summer’
