Area qualifiers
The various clubs within the Irish Pony Club are grouped into several areas. Our club - the West Waterford Hunt Branch - is in Area 3 together with the Tipperary Hunt Branch, North Kilkenny PC, Waterford PC, and Golden Vale PC. Each area has their own qualifiers and the best from each of the area qualifiers qualify for the national finals in Stradbally, Co. Laois in August or for the Mounted Games finals that are held at the Dublin Horse Show each year. Each pony club in our area must organise and host the area qualifiers in turn. The mounted games qualifier is organised by a different pony club from the show jumping, combined training and dressage qualifier and thus also on a different date and in a different venue. In our area 3 the Show Jumping and Dressage + Combined Training qualifiers are held together. Some of the other areas might have separate qualifiers, one for Show Jumping and one for Dressage and Combined Training.
