CLIFDEN HIGH PERFORMANCE QUALIFIER CLASS Clifden High Performance The final will be held in the Showgrounds, Clifden on Friday 16 August 2024 featuring a prize fund of ***€3000*** The Connemara Pony Breeders Society run this class with the aim of displaying the versatility of the Connemara pony, highlighting the performance aspect of the pony over fences with emphasis on the ride ability, scope, versatility and suitability for child or adult. The final will take place on day three of the Annual Connemara Pony Show in Clifden, Co. Galway on Friday 16 August 2024. There will be 5 shows holding qualifiers nationally for the final. The entry fee for the qualifiers is £25 per pony (enter for qualifiers with the show hosting the qualifier) Entry fee for the final €40 per pony. The top four ponies will qualify from each qualifier. The qualifiers and the final will be primarily run under the Irish Pony Society Rules for the working hunters so the scoring system will be the same. At the qualifiers ponies will be asked to jump a minimum of 9 numbered fences including a double and a triple combination at a minimum height of 1m high and 1m wide, a minimum of three fences at the qualifiers should be built to a height of 110cm high and 110cm wide. Each fence will be marked out of 10 and then a mark out of 20 will be awarded for the way of going. The total is then divided by 2 and penalties are then deducted. A knock -10, 1st refusal -15, 2nd refusal -20, 3rd refusal Elimination. A fall of rider will incur elimination. This will complete phase One. In phase 2, each pony will be asked to show, trot, canter and gallop. Unless otherwise requested, ponies will be required to show canter on both reins with a simple change of canter lead through trot. The pony will be stripped and judged for movement, conformation true to breed and type true to breed (i.e.: Connemara). The total marks for phase 2 will be 45 consisting of manners (10), performance (10), movement (10), breed conformation (10) and type (5). At the final ponies will be asked to jump a course of a minimum of 12 numbered fences which will include a double and a treble up to a maximum height of 110cm and width of 110cm (minimum height being 1m and a width 1m). A joker fence will also be included, which will carry double marks but will be at maximum height (110cm) and will pose a certain level of difficulty over and above the other fences on the course. Weather permitting, the river may be used with an optional fence been provided. This will complete phase one. HIGH PERFORMANCE IS EXPECTED Rules for Qualifiers and Final 1.
