Shortlist for Pony Championships Announced
Following a closely fought Charles Owen British Pony Championships at Brand Hall in Shropshire last weekend, British Eventing’s Pony Selectors are delighted to announce a shortlist of nine riders who are in contention for selection for this year’s European Championships at Bishop Burton (29 July – 1 August 2010).
Those shortlisted will attend a training weekend on the 26th & 27th June after which the squad and reserves will be announced. The squad will then have a final run at Shipton Moyne, Gloucestershire, on the 6 & 7 July in the Open Novice, before heading to the European Championships.
Chairman of Pony Selectors, Ginnie Keen commented: “We have many good combinations in contention this year which makes it difficult to select the squad straight after Brand Hall. The decision to select after the training weekend will allow us to have assessed all the ponies so we can ensure we have the strongest possible squad to take to Bishop Burton.”
