Showjumping Competitions
Show jumping competitions are pre-entry. From September 2008, entries can be made through the Global Entries Online system (www.globalentriesonline.com ) or by NRC entry form. The on-line entry system is the preferred method of entry, as this makes life a lot easier for both the rider and the Show Jumping phase head, however for the time being entry forms are still accepted. If entering by form, please send a cheque or money order with the form. Entry forms can be found on the Entry Forms/Draw page of the website.
The Draw
The Draw will be posted on the NRC Entry Foms/Draw page by midday on the Saturday before the competition. When the Draw is finalised riders who entered on-line will receive an email and/or text message with the details of their draw.
Why use Global Entries Online?
The Global Entries Online entry system allows you to register your details once and then enter whichever competitions are listed on the website (other clubs besides NRC use this system). The details required to register include your name, address and contact details, your horse’s name and the information on where your horse is stabled that clubs need to collect to meet DPI requirements. You can also record EFA numbers for yourself and your horse. So once you have registered, you don’t have to fill in Horse Attendance forms or remember to include your EFA numbers with your entry.
Club fundraiser. Spectators and competitors are encouraged to make a gold coin donation to our club to help purchase a new portable PA system
Competition Format
We run an official 105cm class as well as an unofficial one as long as there are sufficient numbers to meet the EFA requirements for number of entries. What is the difference?
Unofficial Classes NRC members $10 per class; Non members $10 per class + $15 day membership (plus $20 EFA public liability insurance for non EFA members)
Competitors who are neither NRC nor EFA members nor members of an EFA insured club such as SSJC or Warringah Dressage must complete a waiver form on the Entry form page at each and every event and it must be signed by the parent or legal guardian for under 18s.
The courses for the first classes are open for walking from 8.30am. The courses may change for the later classes
Dress: Polo shirt and light jodhpurs, PC uniform permitted. Competitors should walk the course in their riding attire, including helmet and whip (if you intend to carry a whip while competing)
November Championships - Formal Dress
Ribbons will be awarded to 6th place
Competitions are run under FEI/EFA rules.
Helping at the Show jumping
Volunteers are needed to help run the show jumping competitions; without your help they just would not happen! We need people to set up the course on the Saturday before and for a variety of jobs on the Sunday, including penciling for the judges, marshalling the riders, packing up the jumps and organising lunch for the judges.
Setting up on the Saturday is a great way to see the course before you come and ride on the Sunday, and the course designer can answer questions you might have about the course. If you are riding on the Sunday maybe you could help for an hour or so before or after your classes; every bit helps and the more people we have the easier it is for everyone. Helpers receive NRC vouchers that can be used for NRC competitions or merchandise.
