If you have never competed as a team member, try it out. It is surprising how much it adds to the competition experience. Teams help each other out and encourage each other. Its like having a support crew!

Polnoon has always been competitive but in a nice way. Polnoon makes up teams from people who want to play. One of the prime instructions is to have fun and enjoy the experience.

Club teams are put together each year by Sheona McNeill. She creates teams from the members who put themselves forward or who are encouraged to have a go. The club often puts several teams together for the same competition. One of the wonderful things about this is that, where one team may loook like winners on paper, so often it is another of the teams that takes the honours!

Have a look at the Polnoon Teams Information Sheet for an insight into being in a team.

As far as the BRC competitions are concerned, we will enter teams and individuals for dressage, show jumping, riding test, horse trials and hunter trials.

Of course, there are other competitions around. Area 1 has started some interesting ones this year and we shall see how they go. And quite often another club or venue will run a team competition. Where possible, Polnoon will facilitate members who want to compete.
