The club enters teams for Area and London & South East competitions.  It gives members an opportunity to compete together and aim to qualify for championships.  Teams are run for dressage from prelim - medium, music, team tests, pairs and riders tests.  Show jumping and horse trials teams run from 2'6" upwards.  We also enter a team for the Liason Trophy which is a low level team competition with dressage, show jumping, cross country, roads and tracks.  This is an ideal opportunity to try competing on teams.  Helpers on foot are needed for all team competitions and a good way of finding out if you would like to be on teams.  Contact Liz Atkinson (01491 873703 or eatkinson@btinternet.com)  to volunteer for teams or to help, or for any more details.  

Please note that all taking part in clinics and other Club events and competitions must wear a hat to the required standard and all those jumping at events or clinics are strongly advised to wear back protectors. From 2003 Medical Arm bands must now be worn by all Riding Club members when competing at Club events which include cross country.  These can be obtained from British Riding clubs head office or British Eventing.For details of the most recent standards required by British Riding Clubs, please contact Liz.

Please remember that horses MUST have a valid flu certificate to compete in teams so remember to get renewal dates in your diary so it doesn’t get missed.

There are teams throughout the year which cover all levels of competition and in all disciplines from low level dressage, jumping and roads & tracks at liaison up to area open level.  So there really is something for everyone and whenever possible CRC will include everyone who wants to get involved in a team.  BUT I need to know who you are and what you’re interested in doing.  If you’re not sure which team would be right for you and your horse please get in touch and let me know what you’ve been doing or come to clinics, but if I don’t hear from people I’m afraid I assume you’re not interested in getting involved. 
Teams are a great way of meeting other people in the riding club and making competing a social event with the support of your fellow team members and others from the club.
