If you have any queries regarding upgrading, please contact your regional co-ordinator, whose details can be found HERE.
Criteria for Underage Athletes Wishing to Upgrade
Upgrades to EI110
- Athletes wishing to upgrade to EI110 level must be assessed by a Level 2 or 3 Eventing Coach, who is not their current trainer, to avoid a conflict of interest.
- Assessments for EI110 can be done by the coaches privately (at their own venue or at an agreed venue). Cross Country MUST be assessed on grass, not in an arena. Alternatively, assessments may also be done at a HP Training day (arranged by HSI – please see below).
- The coach will send the approved assessment form to Head Office by email, to be received at least TEN DAYS before the event at which the athlete wants to compete. No exceptions will be made.
Upgrades to EI100
- Trainers can upgrade underage athletes to EI90 or EI100 level. You can upload the competency form found HERE onto the website or email the upgrade to Head Office at least TEN DAYS before the event (as above).
- All new combinations must also send in competency forms (ie: if you have a new horse or pony, you must be assessed).
How can I be considered for a High Performance Squad?
- Please use this Online Form to send in your expression of interest (via HSI). Please note there is a non-refundable application fee of €50 for each athlete payable.
- HSI will contact you with dates for assessments and training.
- To be part of the HP pathway, underage athletes must have attended a minimum of two HP training sessions.
- For all questions regarding High Performance, please email: Aileen Cartwright
