Membership: 2025 membership is open & please do remember that the animal registration is for life and therefore you don’t need to do that again. Registered animals have extra classes at all our shows, as well as the chance to qualify for the free overall finals at Pony of the Year (NCPA Registered Supreme, Chairman’s & President’s Cup) extra rosettes & a free annual points scheme.

As normal, members receive entry fee discounts for most classes at our shows & at all Main Branch events including the RIHS qualifiers.
***New Competition for 2025***
The Trustees have decided to run a new competition at Pony of the Year: The Staffordshire Branch Gold Star Finals
From 2025 NCPA star rosettes will be awarded to the champion & reserve ridden M&M mini section & also the open ridden section (except for RIHS & HOYS sections). These exhibitors will also receive a qualification card in a similar way to those given for the Topline Junior M&M ridden finals. We do hope this will encourage our lead rein & first ridden riders as well as those who are too mature for the junior classes!
We will continue with the Junior Handler finals and the overall NCPA Registered finals as well.
We have a new venue for the NCPA Eastern Spectacular for 2025: Camden EC, YO26 8EH. Some of you will be disappointed that we will no longer be at the Northern Racing College, but there have been increasing problems with holding this show there. Camden offers hard standing vehicle parking, all weather & grass surfaces, as well as the added advantage of onsite stabling available (bookable through NCPA)
The other major change is the date for Pony of the Year, which moves back a week to14th September 2025. We hope this will help our members who don’t want to miss out on other shows that run over the first September weekend, which do include a lot of STARS final qualifying RC shows as well as Horse of the Year qualifiers. Our entry fees remain the same and as with all Main Branch shows there is an early, cheaper entry fee to help you with your costs. Stabling will again be bookable through the venue (Warren Farm EC)

PLEASE MAY WE REMIND EVERYONE ATTENDING SOUTHVIEW OF THE FOLLOWING RULE AS REGARDS HORSE VACCINATION
Posted: Feb 2019

As Per British Show Jumping Rule 42.5
Flu vaccinations are mandatory for all registered horses and ponies and they must be in possession of a valid flu vaccination certificate. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the horse's vaccinations are up to date and correctly recorded on the diagrammatic vaccination record.
Spot checks will be regularly carried out at shows.
The horse/pony must have received two injections for primary vaccination against equine influenza given no less than 21 days and no more than 92 days apart. Only these two injections need to have been given before a horse/pony can compete in competitions. In addition, a first booster injection must be given no less than 150 days and no more than 215 days after the second injection of the primary vaccination.
Subsequently, booster injections must be given at intervals of not more than one year apart.
THIS RULE IS APPLICABLE TO ALL EQUINES WHETHER REGISTERED WITH AN ASSOCIATION OR NOT AND APPLIES ALSO TO ALL ATTENDANCES, INCLUDING PRIVATE HIRE
Please do not bring any equine to the venue which has been vaccinated for flu in the last seven days, or which is known to have been in contact with any potentially infected animals, or which is in any way showing any signs of any potential illness.
It is the equine owner’s and rider’s responsibility to ensure that they are fully compliant with these regulations and requirements.
** PER DEFRA REGULATIONS, PLEASE CARRY YOUR HORSE PASSPORT AND NOTE THAT SPOT CHECKS ON VACCINATION CERTIFICATES MAY BE EXECUTED **
(FEI regulations re vaccine frequency will apply for international events only)

CHANGES TO JMB MEASUREMENT 2017
Posted: Nov 2016
|
The JMB are going paperless in 2017.
From 1st January we will no longer issue or update measurement certificates.
All measurements will be put on the JMB online searchable database and that shows the animal’s details, when the last measurement was carried out and what type of measurement it was.
When registering, please print out a screenshot of the online JMB measurement.
The JMB will require payment before a measurement takes place. Owners of ponies will be required to apply for a measurement online and pay by credit/debit card or cheque. The fee for payment by credit card will be £87.00 and cheque £90.00.
Measurers will also submit the results of measurements online and together with prepayment by credit card this will mean that measurements will appear online very quickly afterwards.
Cheque clearance will still mean a delay in measurements being processed for at least 10 days.
If you have any queries regarding this new system for JMB please contact
