Combined Training Express League 2026

 

Have you ever heard of Combined Training Express. Well, this is something new to the club and the area. To be honest, we are unsure if anyone else has thought about it.

 

We will not be hosting combined training events, throughout the year.  Yes!  you have read that correctly. We will NOT be hosting combined training events but are hosting the elements of the competition bi-monthly. You can pick and choose, when to come to events and collect points once you have completed both elements.

 

A typically combined training class costs you, on average £24 to £28 per class. If we hosted this bimonthly and you wanted to compete in a league it would cost you £120, for 5 events and that’s not including the fuel to the venue.

 

Combined Training Express,  you save money and have the following options

HOW DOES IT WORK

You compete in an allocated round on the schedule, we will keep record of your jumping penalties from the showjumping element and your dressage score from the allocated test will be what we use. To get your placing we will get your final score by deducting the penalties from the  showjumping phase from the total score of the dressage phase.

Placed to 6th and will be rewarded bimonthly, Rosettes will be picked up from us from our event at Lane Farm Equestrian.
