Overview
The Pony Power Series is intended to develop skills for the young rider and to familiarize riders and parents with scored hunter rounds. One Pony Power class will be included in each of the EC Small, Medium and Large Pony Divisions at select venues.
The class is one round, over a ‘handy’ styled course.
The class may consist of a rollback, trot fence, hand gallop fence, bending line, halt, option fence, bounce or fence jumped in a direct line to/from the in-gate.
Rounds will be scored based on traditional hunter criteria and the scores will be announced.
Ponies will be required to jog in hand or at the discretion of the venue to be a closing trot circle.
At select shows there will also be one hunter round for the Children’s Pony, Short Stirrup and Cross Rail Divisions that will be run with open scoring and awarded special prizes. These classes do not qualify for the Final.
Provincial Award points will be awarded in the Pony Power Qualifier Classes as per EC rule G113 Equestrian Canada rules.
