2012
12th May:
The selectors are unable to meet this weekend.
10th May:
Link to European Team Championship website:
www.horsebridge.org/mounted-games.html
Update 8th May:
To clear up any confusion. Lists are now closed as there are no more selection shows. The application process has been open since early April. The selectors would have liked to have a look at riders next weekend, but circumstances are out of their control. Teams need to be picked so that kit can be ordered, reservations and travel arrangements started and money collected. Selectors will not meet until at least next weekend so no decisions can be made until they do.
Thanks for your patience.
Update 7th May:
The selection lists for 2012 are now closed. Selectors will meet soon to make their decisions. Teams and trainers will be announced on this website. Details of the application process for New Zealand 2013 will then follow.
Update 4th May:
Warwickshire Friendly cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. Some of the selectors will be at the Shropshire Friendly, so feel free to wear your white band. No time to produce new lists though.
Update 28th April:
Just the Warwickshire Friendly selection show left on the 12th & 13th of May. Tim's list for the selectors is formed from the e-mails received. If you have had your name added at a show, but still not e-mailed us your details, you will not be on the next list. You do not need to re-send details for each selection show. We need a complete database of rider applications on:
Update Tuesday 17th April:
Tomorrow is the final day to make the list before Tweseldown. A number of riders have applied by e-mail since Shrewsbury. For those riders who approached the selectors at Shrewsbury to be added to the list, we would still like you to e-mail your details to us so that we have full details of all applicants on our system. We have asked that all riders should attend at least one of the 3 shows. Many of you will attend all 3 which gives you more chance of being noticed. The final selection show will be the Warwickshire Friendly on 12th/13th May.
Update Thursday 12th April:
Just over 60 rider applications have been received. Thanks to Tim for volunteering to co-ordinate the lists for the selectors. Good luck to everyone at Shrewsbury. Don't forget your distinctive white arm/leg band.
Good Friday Update:
Thanks to the riders and trainers who have already applied for the 2012 teams. There are currently lots of applicants from Open riders, fewer for the U17 and very few U14 and U12. Remember to e-mail your details before next Wednesday to make sure you are on the lists for distribution to selectors at Shrewsbury. Trainer applicants should also e-mail their details as soon as possible, as selectors hope to make their decisions at the Shrewsbury competition. Please visit Riding for England and Trainers pages.
