How it works for your Region
The NZPCA Eventing Champs bring together Regions from across the country. Get your riders thinking about it now, and we will get the full entry detail to you the moment it is set.
MT 95, DC 105 and A1 110 are contested by teams and individuals. NZPC 80 is individual entries only.
Every rider brings a crew: coaches, parents, grooms and supporters. It is a weekend for everyone who comes along, not just the ones on course.
Team sizes, qualification and the entry process are being finalised by the organising committee.
Register your Region's interest below and you will be first to receive the full detail, the timetable and key deadlines when they are released.
