Any news on where the summer champs will be? Are they staying at Stoneleigh? Might rejoin if they are as that will be the closest champs to us (apart from NPS!).

Janet i keep hearing people moan that there is no PUK qualifiers in the south but you are right Great Chart shows have them every month at Bluebarn near Ashford . Bluebarn is lovely now as it has it has been done up and lovely new surfaces put down so not sure why people dont support the shows . Come on people support these shows before we lose them

Can anyone tell me what qualifier no (eg W1 W2 etc) is what class? I've searched the website and found the show directory but no where that explains which is which, not at all helpful in trying to find a show. I'm after coloureds in particular. Thanks!

I used to really enjoy PUK winter champs but now they are 3+ hours drive away in March we dont go anymore and as summers have moved to stoneleigh (which is a fab venue) but again 3+ hours we havent bothered joining. Shame there isnt anything further north but then people in south would complain!! You cant please everyone!

Stoneleigh is a great venue so looking forward to the summer championships! There is a northern show at Barton ec, Preston though don't think it is a championships. However the winter champs is too far for us and it's annoying how both nps and ponies uk winter champs are help there!

No rider age limit on the NPS M&M WHP RIHS qualifier. I believe the schedule was not sent in to the NPS to be checked or this would have been picked up. But this qualifier is open to riders of any age.

Does the rider of a pony competing at the PUK Winter Champs have to be a member of PUK? I'm so confused with all these memberships... Thanks in advance.
