A UK based Pavo Cup qualifier will once again take place during the Festival of Dressage CDI at Hartpury College on Friday 11 July 2014. The Pavo Cup pre-selection will give British riders the opportunity to qualify their Dutch bred horses for the semi-finals in Ermelo.
The Pavo Cup is a competition for talented four- and five-year-old dressage horses in which they are evaluated in groups of two as they perform various dressage movements in front of an experienced panel of KWPN judges. Four-year-olds are required to show the walk, trot, and canter in both directions as well as a few strides of medium trot, medium canter, and leg yield. Five-year-olds must show the basic gaits plus extended trot, extended canter, and shoulder-in. Horses are judged on their basic gaits, carriage & elasticity, overall impression, and functionality & correctness of conformation.
The Pavo Cup qualifier will take place at the CDI 3* on Friday 11 July in Hartpury College’s International Arena. The competition is open to four- and five-year-old dressage horses which meet the registration requirements outlined in the competition rules. Only horses registered with the KWPN or KWPN-NA or those which were registered as foals with the NRPS, as described in the competition rules, are eligible to qualify for the semi-finals held at the KWPN Horse Days event in Ermelo.
