Hi all
I've just had a look at the entry numbers for the champs and I'm really disappointed, I thought the classes would be really full, there are so many empty classes, our biggest class is 10 strong but all the other classes for our 4 horses are 5 or less. Does anyone know if that list is up to date or if the classes are likely to be bigger. As much as I like getting red rosettes it's not fun going in on your own!!

Too many shows in August and people have to make choices - such a shame so many happy memories of PUK in the glory days - over 40 in our clases then.

Here is the link www.poniesuk.org/images/summerchamps/CataloguedEntryNumbers2014.pdfYou. No find it on the website on the summer national champs page, it's towards the bottom of the the downloads. I really hope the classes are bigger than they seem, I remember going as a child and wondering how on earth the judge was going to pick out ponies in a 45 strong class of identical fell ponies! On another note, our cob qualified for the Kempley maxi cob class but we didn't enter it cos of the cost of registering, now I've seen there are no entries at all!

Not our classes. Had an email the other day to say Our hoys class has now been split as there is so many entries.
Hopfully they won't be accepting on the day entries for this class

It is too close to equifest, PUK need to move dates so people can do equifest and PUK and look at their prices and membership fees. Stoneleigh is a great venue and I would defo consider it for next year if not so close to equifest and a bit cheaper.

I'm only guessing here but I imagine PUK have had their dates in August for many years so why should they move? The problem is there are too many championship shows in August which is down to the school holidays I suppose but Equifest is the newest show so if anyone should change dates surely it should be them?

Regardless of whether PUK have always had these dates you have to move with what the market wants and from the entry numbers at PUK against those of EQUIFEST PUK have to change something to entice people back. At the end of the day it's a numbers game, I would willingly do PUK and equifest as my two stay away shows for the summer, NPS is too far for me and BSPS isn't my cup of tea but I can't do PUK as too close in dates to equifest. PUK have also dropped Lee Smith classes, there were no hp classes at the winter champs, which is a shame, equifest have a whole day dedicated to home produced classes. Perhaps PUK are no longer interested in the HP brigade which equifest attract but that's what a lot of people like about equifest
