How to Declare a Squad
A squad must be declared with the national organisers before entering any EGB or SERC ride. Please read the Team Endurance Event Rules before attempting to declare a squad as there is guidance within the rules which will help to declare correctly. Declaration of a squad is free of charge.
To declare a team, start by downloading a Declaration Form, see "What Information is Available" above. A Declaration Form can be downloaded in Word format and completed electronically, or it can be downloaded in pdf (Adobe) format and completed manually.
To declare a squad, complete a Declaration Form for each combination in the squad and either email the forms (if Word versions have been completed electronically) or post them to the national organisers. Click on Contact Us for the necessary contact details. Please enclose an A5 or A4 SAE with your Declaration Forms so that the national organisers can return a Mastercard for each of the horse and rider combinations in the squad that are not registered with / members of Endurance GB.
Please note that a horse and rider combination will NOT be able to compete at an EGB or SERC ride unless they have presented their Mastercard to the Ride Secretary on the day of the ride. So all the horse and rider combinations of the Riding Club squad who are not members of EGB or SERC must be declared with the national organisers well in advance of the first planned ride. However, also note that horse and rider combinations who have declared in previous years and therefore already hold a Mastercard need not declare again.
How to Enter A Ride
Making an Entry
To make an entry, start by downloading an EGB or SERC Entry Form, whichever is appropriate, see "What Information is Available" above. An Entry Form can be downloaded in Word format and completed electronically, or it can be downloaded in pdf (Adobe) format and completed manually. Please complete one Entry Form for each member of your squad. They must then be posted (not emailed please) all in a single envelope, together with a cheque made payable to "Endurance GB" for the total fee due, to the Ride Secretary shown in the Ride Details for the ride you wish to enter (see EGB Rides or SERC Rides).
You must also include a large SAE with two large envelope stamps affixed, increasing this to three large envelope stamps if there are more than four riders in the squad that is entering the ride.
It is also most important that you read the "Special Instructions" section for the ride that the squad is entering in case there are any special instructions for your entry. In some cases these instructions will include additional charges that are due and payable as part of the entry fee (such as national park capitation fees for example).
Ride Information Pack
The Ride Secretary will send you a Ride Information Pack for your team (in the SAE you have provided with the squads entry) about seven to ten days before the ride. This will normally include instructions for the ride itself, a route map, a vet sheet for each of the squad's horses and any other information that may be relevant. Please make sure that you read all the information carefully.
