National Championships 2007

National Championships took place in Lexington, Kentucky this past summer 2007. Our club helped send five members to Championships in the disciplines of Dressage, Show Jumping and Eventing. Participants compete in teams and were judged not only on their riding, but also their horse management skills. Congratulations to our PVPC members highlighted below for a great job!

What to plan for in 2008:

National Championships take place in Lexington, Kentucky every 3 years. The next UCPC National Championship, or Festival in Kentucky is scheduled fo July, 2010. Its never to late to start thinking about it! Western Championships also take place every three years. Although the site of the summer of 2009 Western Championships has not yet been posted, they will most likely take place in Colorado. Qualifying rallies will begin in the Fall, 2008. In the summer of 2008, there will be a USPC National Championship taking place in Virginia. Due to the long distance, our Region usually sends competitiors only in the discipline of Quiz. The qualifying Quiz Rally will take place March 8th in Gilroy. The 2006 Quiz Reference Study list has been updated and is now posted on the USPC web site www.ponyclub.org under forms. More information is posted on the Mid Cal website.
