BCPS Eventing Championships – Offchurch Bury – 4th October 2025
Please refer to the Eventing Page for full details.
www.britishconnemaras.co.uk/competitions-events/eventing/
There are 4 height sections 70, 80, 90 and 100cms. To qualify you need a top 10 placing or double clear at any BE or unaffiliated ODE with your pure or part Connemara (pony must show the correct owner in the passport).
You do not need to be a member to qualify, but must become an Adult, Junior, Joint or Family member of the BCPS to compete at the Finals.
The event holds a stand alone ODE alongside the finals which doesn’t require previous qualification.
Please email qualification proof, for the Finals, valid between October 2024 – 22nd September 2025, to gillevans721@gmail.com
Hopefully we can get some rain in Essex so we get a chance to have a go at qualifying again
Duplicate Irish Passports
The BCPS are now required to issue duplicate CPBS passports for pure-bred Connemara ponies, originally registered in Ireland, but now resident in the Great Britain , the Isle of Man and the Channel Isles, where the original passport has been lost.
The Society is required to follow the CPBS requirements for issuing these duplicate passports.
Please be aware that all CPBS Duplicate Passport applications must be verified by DNA, microchip and marking chart which will extend the timeline of application to 8 - 10 weeks due to the length of time Weatherbys Scientific Laboratory takes to process the DNA - unfortunately there is nothing the BCPS can do to speed this up.
Full details of how to apply for a duplicate Irish Passport are contained in the Application Form: 'Issue of a Duplicate CPBS Passport' available as a download from the website. www.britishconnemaras.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/CPBS-Duplicate-Passport-Application-Form.pdf
Note: Owners are reminded that all equine passports contain a lot of important information, which will be required in the event of the document being lost or stolen. A quick snapshot of the critical pages - breeding,
markings, microchip number, UELN number, health records etc. - stored on a mobile 'phone could save much time and expense in such an event.
So is it £200 even if I have original Irish passport? Or is that only if I’d lost it?
There wankers I tried and tried they took my £200 communication was shit and in the end I had too get a non registered book
