Shows Online Update…

Due to Covid 19, our lives have been turned upside down. Social distancing and the travel restrictions, have been putting a strain on us all.

Thanks for all your kind messages, telling us that your enjoying our Shows Online, and the benefits of recording your tests at home. Your welcome.

Here’s our plan for the rest of the year, it is as follows;

The Summer League will continue as normal, May, June and July.

The Autumn league, will have a Junior Class in the Prix Caprilli added and it starts in August, Sept and October. These will be different tests from the Summer league and a flyer will be published with all the details.

We have a added a Championship this year, to be held in November 2020. A Commemorative Ribbon will also be awarded to all its competitors.

The Champions will be held in November and to qualify, you must have taken part in at least 3 shows during the year in that class/level. Riders can only enter the Championships, on their higher level class. For example a Competitor takes part in the Prelim and Novice Classes. They can only enter the Novice Test in the Championships, more information on that later.

Because we are all working in a different way, and because of social distancing. The Judges and I are working remotely, separately and at home. We are having to communicate over the phone, Zoom and WhatsApp all at the same time! This can be quite complicated, so in order to help reduce the stress, we are now introducing a Provisional Placings system.

The Provisional Placings System, means that when we put the Results up for each Leg of the League and at the Finals. The Competitors, have 72hrs to contact us with any queries. This will allow us time, to double check the entries. After this time has lasped, the results will be finalised.

Entries are now open for our June Competition, and are closing this Tuesday 16th June, videos are need to us by Saturday 27th June. www.itsplainslaing.com/club/balcultry
