The Premier Performance CZ Midway Championships is aiming to give riders who do not compete strings of horses at the lower levels, or who only have two horses in 2024 competing at the higher levels, an opportunity to compete at a Championship type show. I think we had one of the best shows in 2023. It certainly surpassed all expectations and huge thanks to all our sponsors, competitors and helpers, without whom we cannot run.
And we are absolutely delighted to confirm that our sponsors for last year are happy to support us again in 2024.
The Gala Evening will be running on Friday 3rd August at around 6.45pm. It will include the PSG, Inter I and Grand Prix music classes, as well as a Masterclass, details of which will be released at a later date. We are also hoping to also bring a little surprise as well. Final timings wil be provided nearer the time.
All horses entered for the Midway Championships will receive 2 spectator tickets for entry to the Gala Evening.
Additional tickets and spectator tickets can be purchased on Horse Monkey. All proceeds are for charity. Please do not buy them from any other source.
Prelim to Advanced Medium - Riders who have competed 2 or less horses in British Dressage competitions since 1st January 2024, and who have not competed at a CDI since 1st January 2019 are eligible.
Prix St Georges to Grand Prix - Riders, who may have competed any number of horses from Preliminary to Advanced Medium, but have only competed TWO horses at PSG or higher at British Dressage or FEI competitions since 1st January 2024, and who have also not competed at a CDI since 1st January 2019 are eligible.
Class 18, the Grand Prix class, has now been set up to allow riders to choose which test they wish to ride on each day. Either the Grand Prix Freestyle or the Grand Prix may be chosen on the first day. And then either the Intermediare II or the Grand Prix may be chosen on the second day. Placings will be determined by adding the percentages obtained on each day together and the highest total percentage will be the winner. Please make sure you enter the correct section of Class 18.
Horse and rider combinations will also need to qualify for the show by achieving the number of specified scores for their level by close of entries on 7th August 2023. Classes will be closed earlier if they are oversubscribed.
The show will run over 2 days on 23rd and 24th August 2024 and will take place at Hartpury College.
All competitors entering the Midway Music classes (classes 21-27) will automatically be entered in the equivalent BD Affiliated Music Class. Competitors may enter an additional BD Music Qualifier if they wish, by entering the appropriate class. All classes will be run under BD rules.
Entries can made on line at www.horsemonkey.com from 1st July 2024.
The main Championship will run over the 2 days and will run from Prelim to Grand Prix. Each combination will complete 2 tests at their level and the overall winner for each level will be decided on the total good marks presented as a percentage of the total marks available. There are no prizes for placings on each day.
The Music classes will run from Prelim to Grand Prix on Friday 23rd August in the main Hartpury Arena. The organiser reserves the right to run the Novice music class on Saturday 24th August if entries permit. Any combination who has competed in the main Championship will be eligible to enter the Music Championship, at the same level or above. Entries in the Music classes will automatically be entered in the appropriate affiliated Music class.
