Inter Pacific - Show Jumping and Mounted Games

The Inter Pacific Exchange (IPE) is a biennial rally where five countries contest the Nations Cup. The competing countries are Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand and the United States of America. Each country is rostered to host the rally once during a twelveyear period. The rally is generally between ten and twenty days in length.

Wairarapa Wellington Area Pony Club encourage riders to trial for these teams. This is great experience and representing your country with Pony Club encourages others and you will make some great friends and contacts.

WW will help support the riders financially. The level of financial contribution will depend on the compeition location, and also rider numbers from our area.

If competing in NZ then the contribution will be capped at $1500 towards all the rider and chaperone/manager/coach costs.

If competing overseas then the contribution will be capped at $2000 towards all the rider and chaperone/manager/coach costs.
