TVRC Blenheim Team 2006

 

Welcome to the Thames Valley Teams Page!

Thames Valley Riding Club have a strong commitment to all team competitions and if members wish to compete we provide the training and support regardless of the level.

This year we are looking to continue our success with strong teams in all disciplines and relevant training to help every rider achieve their goals.

Lucy Savage is the overall Teams and Training Manger and oversees all events.
Lara Booth manages the Show jumping teams and training events.
Lesley Wells manages the Flatwork training and Dressage teams.
Tara Howell manages the XC training and Festival of the Hunter teams.

Contact details can be found here.

2007 was a great year for new riders and horses joining the training and teams and as a result we fielded a greater number of teams at each event than usual. Unfortunately our results did not match our enthusiasm and apart from the dressage team we did not qualify for the nationals.

This year we are looking forward to putting together some strong teams to represent TVRC in the following teams :

Novice, Intermediate and Open Horse Trials
Novice and Open Hunter Trials
Novice, Intermediate and Open Showjumping
Equitation jumping
Dressage and dressage to music.

If anyone wishes to join a team then contact the relevant team manager with details of your experience and aspirations. Team training and selection events are held before competitions to ensure everyone is confident of what is being asked. Commitment and enthusiasm are valued equally to skill and talent.

For dates for the 2008 qualifiers and championships click here. Please ensure that when putting yourself forward for teams that you are available for both the qualifier and championship dates.

Important Note on Vaccinations : Horses competing for the team events need to have their vaccinations up to date. Over the last season we have had a couple of members 'spun' from events for not having the complete series of jabs. Could everyone have a check of their horses passport / vaccination certificate to ensure that the first three are within the time periods specified and that the annual jabs are on or before the previous year's visit.

If you do find a discrepancy first check with your vet to ensure that the dates are correct on the certificate, then if you think you would like to compete for the club, you will need to start the course again. There is no way around this and no exceptions - Margaret Pitman attends each qualifier to check the certs and will not let anyone through who has a discrepancy.

If you spot any errors or omissions please contact TVRC Team ManagerLucy Savage
