Want to compete in HRCAV?
Here is what you need to do.
-
Join an HRCAV Club. Your Club registers you with the HRCAV. You will receive a Membership card and your first set of performance cards free of charge.
-
Get your Membership card stamped and signed. Your Club does this to confirm you are a paid up member for the current HRCAV year.
-
Book a level assessment. Contact a Level Assessor to be assessed for competition. Assessors may charge a fee, so ask your Club to organise an Assessment day to share the cost.
-
Know your level. Each horse and rider combination is allocated a level based on experience and ability. To be assessed on more than one horse, phone the office to order additional performance cards.
-
Get your Club uniform. This may be anything from a polo shirt to a tailored vest, so check with your Club. Riding jackets are not worn in HRCAV competition. Your Club colours, with your Club name or logo, must be on your upper body garment or saddle blanket when competing.
-
Check the calendar. Find forthcoming events and their programs.
-
Download your dressage tests. Current tests and movement diagrams are on the website.
-
Know the rules. Make sure you are familiar with the HRCAV rules for competition.
-
You are ready to compete. Welcome to the HRCAV competition family. Good luck and have fun!
