South & West Inter County Challenge
Harbour Holidays Inter County Challenge
Each county in the S&W including IOW, Guernsey and Jersey has an ambassador (sometimes more than 1). This person is a volunteer who works very closely with me to deliver opportunities and social events in each county. This does not include competitions etc.
Each year from 1 Sept to 20 March we hold ICC Qualifier Days, These are open to anybody member or otherwise, and they are a great way to ride a test and get feedback from the judge as well as a score.
To do the Inter County you need 3 scores at the same level on the same horse(s), these scores are centrally recorded. At the end of the qualifying period your ambassador will work through the list of results and put together teams of up to 14 riders. They may send a team of Youth and Senior riders to compete. We host a 2 day stay over show at Bicton Arena, Devon and in 2025 the date is Saturday 3 May - Monday 5 May 2025.
Teams can have no more than 3 at the same level in them. For Senior the main team is made up of 12 riders who need to ride tests to qualify plus 2 invited riders at FEI level. The teams go from Prelim to GP. For Youth we use the rider skill tests from D squad to A squad and up to 4 from each level may compete. (email me for more info on Youth if are interested in Youth Teams. Youth mirrors seniors in all way except the tests).
You then enter and come, you have to ride a test on the weekend at the same level. Scores are collated and the team with the highest marks over 2 days wins. We amalgamate the Youth and Senior scores to arrive at a Supreme Champion result as well.
In addition to the ICC Classes we offer Affilaited classes from Prelim to GP from approx. 2pm on the arrival day and then each day on the two days of the ICC. You don’t have to stay on site if you don’t want to but we do a lot of fun things as well such as a Cake Bake Off, Bingo, Unmounted Gymkhana in fancy dress, treasure hunt etc!
To do ICC you only need a club membership and a horse club membership once picked for a team, up to then you don’t have to be a BD member except for the FOC community one.
