Bristol & Somerset Area Points in the News
This is Bristol / British Showjumping

Friday 20 January 2012
Micro-chipping
Effective from 1st April 2012, all NEWLY registered horses and ponies competing in National competitions must be micro-chipped.  Horses that are already registered with British Showjumping will not be required to be micro-chipped at this stage.

Flu Vaccinations
Effective from 1st April 2012, flu vaccinations will be mandatory for all registered horses and ponies and they must be in possession of a valid flu vaccination certificate.  It is the owners responsibility to ensure that the horse’s vaccinations are up to date and correctly recorded on the diagrammatic vaccination record.  Spot checks will be regularly carried out at shows throughout the year.  The horse must have received 2 injections for primary vaccination against equine influenza given no less than 21 days and no more than 92 days apart.  Only these 2 injections need to have been given before a horse can compete in British Showjumping competitions.  In addition, a first booster 
injection must be given no less than 150 days and no more than 215 days after the second injection of the primary vaccination.  Subsequently, booster injections must be given at intervals of not more than 1 year apart.

11 Year old Tara Byrtt & her pony My Little Tinker, qualify for the Winter 128cm Championship at Royal International Horse Show after coming second in both the Winter 128cm Second Rounds at Arena UK (14th/15th Jan).

Bristol & Somerset Members also picked up other placings during the weekend, Hannah Bishop & Green Gem Coco, Ella Garlick  & Weydown Sunflower, Jordan Frost & Annaghmore Galexy, Tara Byrtt & Coco Can, Phoebe Locke & Grey Palace, Brody Frost & Little Poppet & Ella Garlick & O'hill Princess.

Tara also qualified her other pony Coco Can at the Hand Equestrian Centre on 11th/12th February.

As of the 1st January, Katie Pike replaced Neil Wells as Area 48 Representative. Katie worked alongside Neil for the past three years and would like to thank him for all his hard work during this time. She would also like to thank everybody who took the time to return their election forms. We would also like welcomes the addition of Sam Pepperall to the 2012 committee.

 2012 will bring a few changes, the first being the introduction of a Senior Leading Rider Award, for the rider who has gained the most points during the year; this can be achieved from multiple horses. The second change being the change of location to our Annual Dinner Dance to The Rookery Manor Hotel. Invitations were sent out in November; tickets are limited this year so book early to avoid disappointment. We have also introduced an Optional ‘green’colour theme following from last year purple theme, as always we will be holding a raffle & presentation of the 2011 Points Championship during the evening. If anyone has any prizes to donate to the raffle it will be most appreciated.

We will be holding two shows during 2012 a Winter Show (24th/25thMarch) & a Summer Show (21st/22nd July) both of these will be held at Stretcholt Equestrian Centre. Our Winter Schedule (SEE BELOW) has been allocated Bath & West Qualifiers; we will so be running the Small Pony Scope Qualifiers. Our Summer Show has been allocated a Pony British Novice Regional Final and we will be running the Senior & Larger Pony SCOPE Qualifiers. Please contact us if you are interested in sponsoring at any of these shows.
 
Katie and the committee are very approachable & welcome any idea’s that can help improve the area, they will also try & assist you anyway they can.
 
If anyone would like to join the Area 48 Committee, please contact a current Committee Member. (Katie Pike, Kirsty Pearce, Paul Dunning, John Webb, Samantha Pepperall, Emma Salway, Hannah Thorne)
