Dear Competitors,

As you all know our results have been delayed and I thank you all for your patience while resolving this issue.
I have had some questions regarding query time after the results get publicly posted, after much deliberation and consultation with many people across the country as well as the Oxford Pony Club organising committee, this is our final decision given the circumstances and nature of a first start event.
Results will get published and there will be NO protest time. We have looked over the new results numerous times and are confident they are correct; any jump faults were justified in the fence judge books and made sense to us when we cross-checked all of our paperwork.

A First Start event should be entirely about the children and them completing the day having done all phases of the event to the best of their ability, not about places or ribbons/prizes. First starts should be a learning opportunity for kids and also parents who may be new to eventing or returning to eventing.

Given these circumstances, my emails are completely open for questions and positive discussions- not just regarding this event but any eventing question you may have in the future. Please take this opportunity to ask me anything you may be unsure about- no judgement!

Again, this is a learning opportunity, and no results will be changed after they have been posted, however questions are always welcome.

I personally thank you all so much for your patience and understanding.

Unfortunately, Classes 3, 6A, 6B, 7, 8A, 8B, Oxford Pony Club First Start encountered an issue with the scoring system, which resulted in incorrect penalties being applied. The Evo team in the North Island is currently working to resolve this for us.
As a result, we were unable to finalise the scores at prize giving yesterday. We are now working with the Technical Delegate and the Technical Advisory Board on a process to release the results, including a set window for any protests.

Ribbons will be posted out by our club once individual results are confirmed, this will also enable us to announce the Fleetwood First Start Team Winners.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Collier Trophy 2026 - Seven of our club riders enjoyed a day full of learning and growth, with our Oxford Pony Club - New Zealand team finishing a fantastic 5th out of 15 teams. The morning course walk was certainly chilly, but as the sun came out, so did the encouragement, laughter, and determination.

Everyone gave it their best, maintaining a positive attitude through a few unexpected moments along the way. It was fantastic to see such resilience and support for one another.

A special thank you to Francesca Bishell for stepping in as team coach, and to the amazing team of parents who helped make the day possible.

Thank you also to Bangor & Roydvale for welcoming our composite riders as we really appreciated your support in making it possible for them to experience Collier.

We are also grateful to the organisers and officials for delivering such a fun well organized event🫶 🐎
