CHPC Rules for Senior Team Selection
In order to be eligible to compete in Senior Pony Club Games, the committee of Carlow Hunt Pony Club requires a rider to be available for Qualifiers and training sessions.
If more than 5 members, aged 13 years or more on 1st January, wish to be considered for the Senior Games Team, then a CHPC trial will take place at a suitable time set by the DC’s and games co-ordinators, to decide the team before the qualifiers commence, all interested members must attend. The trial will be on grass and consist of 11 games (from games list for qualifiers), 3 of which will involve vaulting. Points will be awarded for placings according to number attending. eg 10 riders 1st place = 10 points, 2nd place = 9 points etc. In the event of elimination the rider will score 0 points. The results will be available at the end of the trials and any queries will be dealt with before the team/s is published. The 6th place rider will be the first sub, 7th placed second sub and so on.
The same pony & rider combination that presents at trials, must present at the Qualifiers.
If a member cannot attend the trial or expresses an interest after the trial is complete, they will only be considered for team placings after those who attended the trial and must be approved by the DCs.
Non-attendance at training and Qualifiers may result in a rider losing their place at the discretion of the DC,s and the trainers.
If a sub is used more than once for the same member, the sub may take the place of that team member which will be at the discretion of the DC’s and Trainers.
The following rule applies in the event of a pony getting injured.
If a pony gets injured (vet cert is produced) after the team trials or during the Qualifiers the members parent must state within 1 week whether they want to renege their selection or whether they wish to nominate a replacement pony to maintain their team placing. The pony nominated to maintain their team selection must be of a suitable standing and experience as the injured pony and has competed at games successfully before. If the parent choses to nominate a pony, the pony’s credentials are put forward to the following people- DC’s and Games Trainers. This group will consider the pony’s experience, recent form and compatibility with the rider. This group has the final say as to whether the pony is a suitable replacement. If deemed suitable the member maintains their team place, and if found not to be of suitable standing the member loses their team place.
If either the DC, chef d’equipe or Games Trainer is the parent of the rider with the injured pony the DCs must nominate a different person to assess a replacement pony and the affected parent must not be involved in this assessment.
