Cheshire Group Trophies

All trophies are open to all Cheshire Group members regardless of membership status and age (unless specifically stated in the criteria) provided that the rider or a nominated representative has helped at one or more Cheshire Local or National event in the given year. Additionally completing the  help will earn the rider 32km distance on their distance record for the season by adding this to the record card and marking as H for help.

Pleasure rides are defined as pleasure rides run at EGB local or national events, by any local bridleway group, and can also include up to four other organised rides where the proceeds are raised for a named and registered charity. Sport Endurance rides are not included.

Trophies are awarded at the branch annual meeting for rides completed each season

In respect of breed related trophies a horse may only be eligible for one trophy.
