WP Event Chps (Nelsons) - Re scheduled

[M-E]

Posting from the WP Eventing website:

After careful consideration of the available dates from now until the end of January next year, other equine events, expected weather, expected track conditions, other Nelsons Creek events, and views and opinions received from riders and officials, we find that we really only have the 5th and 6th of December as a possible show date.

Thankfully this date has been ratified by Alan Nelson, and we are therefore cleared to go ahead.

Those competitors that wish to scratch their entries will receive their entries back, less a 20% administration fee in accordance with rule 41.4.0 of the SANEF Eventing Rules May 2008. In addition, late entries will be considered until Friday the 20th of November.

Please contact Jen Preen ([e-mail] / 082 872 9992) and she will be able to assist you.

We look forward to seeing you all at a much drier Nelsons Creek for a great WP Championship on the 5th and 6th of December !

Please don’t forget that Nelsons Creek Wine Festival will still be held this weekend and that we would welcome your support at their event.

[Hellgirl aka Lisa]

wooo... do they have welcome? tempting......

[M-E]

Yes they do

[Hellgirl aka Lisa]

Oh gosh but i have to do AHS, so we won't be fit enough, prob not overly wise to do our first welcome at champs.. .

The track is lovely. I did my first Pre-novice there last year.

[M-E]

The show is going ahead, we do have enough entries but are short on funds and help due to the re-scheduling and the fact that we no longer link with the Horse and Wine Festival.

Anyone who can help in ANY way, jump judge, marshall or anything like that please contact Amy Slingsby - 072 212 1585

I'm SO bummed - doing AHS and so won't be going :-(
Hey - next year!!

[tickledpink]

Does anyone know when the dressage times will be out, and which showjumping is on which days?

[Macluke]

I'm also waiting... it's meant to come out today I think

[M-E]

Its on the website now

[tickledpink]

Great, thanks. It doesn't say when the showjumping is for each class? Just trying to organise boxing

[journey]

TP- i would phone them- and explain that you are needing to organise trucking- i heard via the grapevine that the showjumping and xcountry were both going to be on the Sunday for all classes- but that is heresay. I am so sorry that they had to postpone it- there are only 5 horses in the Junior welcome- really small classes- shame- i guess it was too much to ask to hold it over until next year- the organisers must be so disappointed- anyway it will still be amazing! Your girl was looking lovely as usual at the clinic this weekend!

[tickledpink]

Thanks Journey Was great to see you again! I will give Jen a call. xx

[Macluke]

The reason for lots of scratchings is because lots of people are doing the Lower grade festival at Glenellen.

Anyway if you guys see me please come say Hi .

[BR]

Show jumping is all on Sunday. I am interested in the briefing times.

[tickledpink]

Will do Macluke - whats your horse's name? Look out for a tubby bay mare - Vanilla Sky

[Macluke]

Yay I prefer jumping after x-country just will be getting home late

My horse's name is Three Times Lucky he will probably be the crazy one

Riders, if you can please also bring your own water. There is sufficient water at the grounds, just a bit of a walk.
