Fri 25th May 2012 Entries close next week for RoR polo pony competition Enter your pony before next Friday and be in with a chance of winning a cash prize RETRAINING OF RACEHORSES’ (RoR) new polo competition is fast approaching, with entries closing next Friday (1 June). RCBPC will host the challenge on 12 June from 10.30am to 12.30pm and substantial cash prizes are up for grabs. An appearance fee of £100 will also be paid to each competitor. Riders, who must be two-goals or above, will be required to give a two minute freestyle display showing the pony – who must have raced in the UK and be RoR registered – as he/she wishes. There will be three sections: three year olds; four year olds; and five year olds and upwards. Ponies will be judged on conformation, movement, responsiveness and willingness by a panel of international players and an RoR representative. There will be prizes for each of the three sections – £1,000 for each winner and £500 for second placed individuals. The pony judged to be overall champion from the three sections will receive an additional cheque for £1,500 and the Balding Trophy, which will be awarded at the HPA dinner at Guards Polo Club on the 19 July. To enter, visit the RoR website www.ror.org.uk and complete an entry form. Photograph: Henry Brett playing one of his ex-racehorses, Secret Dossier
