A horse/rider combination must take part in a minimum of 2 shows in order to be included in the league. League points will be awarded at each show including the Winter Finals.

Note: It is not possible for Juniors to win league prizes in the adult league.

 TRAINING BURSARIES

A total of 4 training bursaries worth €200 each will be awarded for riders from the Eastern Region 4 over the age of 18 who compete regularly at Eastern Region shows at Preliminary, Novice and Elementary level. To compete for these bursaries riders must attend a minimum of 6 shows over the Winter and Summer season plus the Regional Championships at the end of the summer season. Bursary winners will be determined at the Regional Championships on an adjusted percentage basis using the rider’s best score on the day. Winners of Training Bursaries in 2008 are not eligible to compete for these in 2009 but may compete again for bursaries in 2010.

JUNIOR TRAINING
The Region may be able to organise a training programme over the Summer for our younger riders. Anyone interested should give their name to the secretary.
