Manor Grange Stud BD Summer Dressage Championship 2008???

[_jetset_]

Firstly, what on earth is this?

Secondly, how on earth have Grace and I qualified for the Prelim and Novice class??? The last time she competed was October

it is there own champs run as a bd comp , still get points etc , they do have strange qualifying periods for some of their own stuff , there again i think some of their organisation in general goes a bit skewif

I competed there in October 2007... it is the only time I have competed there

If you look at their website you will see they have a points system, you can clearly see everyone and their horses who may or will be taking part in the championships, its a lovely place they also do jumping and various training days.

Thank you... will see if we are on there or if it is an admin mix up

Ok... my name is on the Novice Restricted list, but not the Prelim (I have received something through the post for both).

How do you qualify?

The points scheme seems to be for unaffiliated.

Not sure how it works for the dressage but I know when they do the jumping championships you can only take part if you have been placed in the Trial Blazer/Blazin Trial (not sure which way round it is without looking at the webby) as they have there own trials type competition. Anyway you can compete on the the day of the championships but only the training class (CR type of thing) so I imagine that if you have been placed, you are on the lead board, they have posted you info then I can only imagine that you have therefore qualified, give them a ring, their very helpful.

...and of course good luck if you go!

i think a first to third placing qualifies you

Ah, I have just phoned and spoke to a lovely lady.

It is indeed 1st - 3rd, so we have quaified for the Prelim and the Novice

I am hoping to take her Graciousness as the week after she will be at the Petplans too, so will be a nice couple of weekends if she stays rideable

I qualified last year but didnt get the card through until after the entries had closed

Te he... I think we're going to go. Might just do the Prelim as I'm not sure she'll be strong enough for the Novice by then, but we'll see
