Members interested in being selected for the team should record themselves and the animal they would compete on riding the relevant test (see below). Riders are encouraged to submit videos at more than one level if they are capable of competing at more than one level.
The videos will be judged by an independent listed Dressage Ireland judge.

The three dressage tests are available on the IPC website:
The Pony Club Novice Dressage Championship Test 2025
The Pony Club Intermediate Dressage Championship Test 2023
The Pony Club Open Dressage Championship Test 2018
NB these dressage tests on the virtual dressage submission form are located under the headings Preliminary Level, Novice Level and Elementary Level respectively.
IPC turnout and tack rules apply.
The team will be selected by the D and CT committee based on their scores for the videos submitted, as judged by the listed Dressage Ireland judge.
There will be entry fees (last year these were £30 to The Pony Club and £32 to the RWHS, which included a pass to the show and two additional people) and travel expenses to pay. No on-site stabling will be available for this competition onsite this year, unfortunately, but last year's competitors found local stabling.
