Entries may only be done as a team, NOT as individuals (unless a draft rider) so please do not enter on Nominate yet!!!
All rider / mount combinations must meet the requirements of the Rally Attendance Rule (NZPCA Reg. 15.4) and be a current NZPCA member.
Rider age is at 1 August preceding the event.

Heights and age categories - 25 years and under - 105cm, 95 cm, 85cm. 14 years and under - 65cm.
For Clyde teams you must be competing confidently and safely at the height you are nominating, either in eventing SJ, ESNZ or RAS (A&P shows).
If you are intending to nominate for a height BELOW which you normally compete please ask about the rules regarding this.
Riders can ride a maximum of two mounts.
If there are insifficient Cyde riders (less than four riders) for a 3 height team, it is possible to enter a 4 rider two height team or a composite team with riders from another COPC branch.
Draft riders - the draft rider system can be used if we are unable to form a team as above. There is a seperate form to be filled in to be a draft rider and this also requires two successful live SJ competitions at the height you are nominating. Draft riders are allocated to teams by the OSAPC SJ organising committee
