Take 2!!

It was devastating to the organising committee to have cancel our original 2021 State Championship event in July
and was not a decision we took lightly.

It does however give us great pleasure however to now be able to invite you to attend our State Event 2.0. Splitting
the program over two weekends was the only solution to enable us to run the event in 2021, as the next school
holiday break is already full with two State Championships and Nationals.

On behalf of Burpengary Pony Club we extend an invitation to all competitors, families and friends to join us at
Burpengary Equestrian Centre in August for the 2021 State Trials Championships and in September for the 2021
State Dressage and Combined Training Championships.

Being located just on the northern side of Brisbane and only 10 minutes off the Bruce Highway makes the location
very accessible. The team at Burpengary Pony Club always go above and beyond and will, as always, have the
facilities at their best for the championships.

Burpengary Equestrian Centre is an outstanding facility with suitable surfaces for each phase of the championships.
A well maintained cross country course, located within the same venue, gives us the benefit of being able to hold
the entire event in the one location.

These events would not be possible without the amazing support of our sponsors. We thank you all in advance for
your valued support and ask our competitors to also pass on their thanks to our sponsors and let them know that
their support is appreciated.

We look forward to offering a warm welcome to everyone and trust you have safe travels to join us at what we
expect to be a great Championships with a friendly atmosphere.

Sincerely,
Barry Dossetto (Chairman) and Annette Howarth (Organising Secretary) Burpengary Pony Club

Riders disregarding this rule could incur disqualification from the event. Competitors must not ride on or near
any part of the official courses prior to the competition. Horses must be correctly saddled and the competitor
must wear a helmet, riding boots and competition number whilst exercising their horse. Helmets to be
Equestrian Helmets rated at PCQ standards as stands A/NZ 3838, A/NZ ARB HS 2012, EN 1384 (made up to and
including 2015) BS PAS 015 (1998 or 2011) VG01.040 (2014-12) or ASTM F1163 or better.

9. CLASSES
If numbers in any class are insufficient, classes may be combined. Groups of over 30 riders but less than 40
riders may be divided into two groups but will be divided if numbers exceed 40. If there are less than 3 riders
in any group, the riders do not form part of a team (Zone or State).

10. SCORING Dressage
10 points to 1 point are descending to 10th place. The overall placings are determined by these points. In the
event of a tie for overall placings, the actual marks for the number of tests involved will be averaged and the
rider with the highest average score will be champion. If still equal, the rider with the highest score in the
highest test will be the winner.

Combined Training On each Judge’s sheet the good marks awarded for each movement together with the
collective marks are added deducting any penalties for errors of course or test. For each Judge, the percentage
of maximum possible good marks by the maximum possible good marks obtainable, and then multiplying by
100 and rounding the result to two decimal digits (any score of “x.xx5” and above is rounded up and any score
less than “x.xx5” is rounded down. This value is shown as the individual percentage for that Judge. This
percentage is then converted to penalty point. This is subtracted from 100 and multiplied by 1.0 with the
resulting figure being rounded to ONE decimal digit. The result is the score in penalty points for the dressage
test).

                                                                                                                  14
Any penalties incurred in the jumping phase are added to the penalty points for the dressage test. If the final
score gives equality of marks to two or more competitors, the classification is decided by the best (lowest)
dressage score. If there is still equality, the closest to optimum time (under the time set) in the jumping test
determines the result.

Horse Trials
Groups are scored 10 to 1 descending from 1st to 10th place to determine team results and for team scoring
riders completing the 3 phases but not in the top ten receive 1 point. The competition is on a penalty basis and
the winner of the competition will have the lowest total penalty points.

In the case of a tie, the winner will be the competitor with the best cross-country score. If there is still a tie, the
winner will be one whose cross-country time was the closest to the optimum time. If still equal, the dressage
mark will decide who is placed higher. This principle applies to tied place getters and teams.

11. TEAMS
 A Team is selected from the four best scorers all belonging to one club or zone with the three best scores to
count. A team of three is acceptable and may beat a team of 4. Where a club has more than 4 riders, the first
team will be the four highest scorers and the second team will commence with the fifth highest scorer. Scores
are taken from points awarded for overall placings in Groups/Grades.
There must be at least 3 competitors in a class for teams points to be awarded. If there is less than 3 riders in a
class then only the first placed competitor will receive teams points. This shall apply only to straight dressage.
Eg- Only 2 elementary riders, therefore only 1st overall gets team points.
