European CIC** Team Championships 2011
GOLD for SRC Member EMMA CASTLE riding for Team GB in the CIC** European Team Championships at Aston Le Walls with Emma in overall 5th place riding Caroline Webb's Castle Larchfield Purdy.
The CIC** Team Championship, which used to be referred to as Rural Riders, includes the unique team dressage test where the whole team of six ride the test together under the command of the Chef d’Equipe.
Emma rode at Nagykanzsa Hungary in 2009 as a GB individual gaining 17th place (photo left).
This project is run in conjunction with British Eventing (BE) and the aim is to select a pool of riders and horses from BRC and BE members for training. The pool is kept under review and candidates added or removed depending on compatibility for the team test, responsiveness to training and competition performance. Training is provided by Richard Waygood (Chef d’Equipe) and Jonathan Chapman (Assistant Chef d’Equipe). It focuses on the team dressage test, but there are also coaching sessions for individual dressage and jumping included in the programme.
Horse and rider combinations selected for the team must be qualified for a CIC**, but must not have completed a CIC*** in the two years preceding the championship or completed a 4* at any time. Each nation competing in the championship is allowed to take up to eight horses and riders. Six will be selected for the team and two will run as individuals.
Any member interested in training for the 2013 Championships to be held in Austria should contact Peter Buist by email at peterbuist@aol.com or by telephone on 01794 368061 for further information.
