Competitions

In order to stimulate equestrian sport it is necessary to have meaningful competition between Competitors of similar abilities, to encompass the range between the less competent and the most competent. Within the HRCAV, this is referred to as Level Assessment.

Level Assessment is the vehicle by which all Members of the HRCAV have access to fair and safe competition, with the higher Levels in all disciplines being of a standard to enable those Horse/Rider Combinations to “step” comfortably over to “open” competition, if they so desire. This system provides a means for Members of similar ability to compete together in fair and equal competition.

The following disciplines are recognised within the HRCAV:

Dressage
Show-jumping
Combined Training
Horse Trials (Eventing)
Showing
Competitive Riding (Navigation Rides, Time Trials)

The following Levels shall be allocated for all competition phases:

Level 1 (Hardest)
Level 2
Level 3 (Intermediate)
Level 4
Level 5 (Least difficult)

Victorian Top Team Trophy Championships

Each year a Member Club hosts a Team Championship in the above disciplines. These Championships have grown enormously with the recent Dressage and Horse Trials Championships attracting around 400 entries. These prestigious events enable all competitors of all Levels the opportunity to compete for their Club as part of a Team.
