The Queens Cup 2014 will be given to the Pony that participates in a minimum of 3 of our Pony Play programs, and accumulates the largest amount of ribbon points,
1st Place = 3
2nd Place = 2
3rd Place = 1
The prize is for the Pony. You do not need a partner nor the same Trainer for all events. As long as the Pony registers for the event, participates in whatever the Pony Play program is for that event is (Example, DomConLA has The Pony Show) and competes in the Queens Cup Race/Event for that event, then that is all that is required.
A single Pony may ask subMissAnn to take their reins at all the events that require a partner. She will be at the all events as a Trainer, there to train, take reins, assist however she can, and in general, share the joy of Pony Play with participants.
Events using a Cart: to make them more fair, there will be a designated Driver.
Good Luck!
