Dear DC’s, CA’s and club/regional officers:
Below is the 2010, USPC West Coast Championship Qualifier’s information. Please review it carefully, and mail
a hard copy or e-mail it to your club’s potential candidates. The application and this letter will also be posted on
the Camino Real Website. http://uspccaminoreal.org
This notice has been sent directly to the current and incoming club officers that I have e-mail addresses for.
Review the application with your club’s potential candidates. Most riding disciplines in 2009 (except SJ –
Developing Rider) required that the member must have been at least a C1. Quiz starts at 10 years old and a
D2.
Please check on the USPC website – Publications – Rulebooks – see “Annual Newsletter” for each specific
discipline for qualifying rating and age requirements. These are usually posted early February.
The PC member must be the qualifying age by 1/1/2010 and the qualifying rating by the date of the qualifying
rally. For example if the discipline requires them to be 10 years old and a D2 (JR D quiz) then they must have
turned 10 prior to Jan. 1, but they can get their D2 rating prior to the qualifying rally (April). Any changes to their
rating after the qualifying rally will NOT affect their team placement. Again, for example, if they qualified as a Jr.
D but got their C1 rating after the qualifying rating they would still participate at Championships as a Jr. D.
If a member only wishes to be a Stable Manager they do not need to pay the application fee but must submit an
application and attend either the SJ/Dressage qualifier (May) or the Eventing qualifier (June) and be a SM for a
team. It is important for the Eventing SM to understand the process that occurs in the vet box and so must be a
SM at the Eventing rally.
DC’s - you must make sure that all qualifiers from your clubs are aware of the discipline rules. Copies of the
rulebooks may be downloaded at the USPC web site. www.Ponyclub.org
Thank you, and best wishes to all the qualifying candidates.
