How It Works
Welsh Explorers is a hacking challenge for all ages and abilities with rosette awarded to celebrate your achievements. Why not aim to collect all 5 challenge rosettes.
- You can sign up to take part in Welsh Explorers HERE (£5 charge per challenge you take on) once payment has been made you will be emailed a PDF of your record card.
- Print your record card off and keep this safe to record all your miles. Circle your chosen challenge either 20, 50, 100, 500 or 1000 miles. There is not time limit for completing the challenge it can be done completely at your own pace.
- Each challenge starts from 0 miles (they are not accumulative miles) so why not challenge yourself to complete all 5 doing a total of 1670 miles and earning all 5 rosettes.
- You can complete your challenge on more than one pony/ horse the only rule is that they must be registered with the WPCS. The miles can be done either in the saddle, driven or leading in hand.
- Your record card must only include hacking miles, fun rides also count.
- You can take part in the challenge from any part of the world.
- Once you have completed your chosen challenge 20, 50, 100, 500 or 1000 miles submit your record card to the Society office – The Welsh Pony and Cob Society, Bronaeron, Felinfach, Lampeter, Ceredigion, SA48 8AG (we recommend recorded delivery so that you know it arrives safely) or take a photo of your record card and email this to enquiries@wpcs.uk.com
- Share your adventures and stories with us via Instagram @welshponyandcobsociety (use hashtag #welshexplorers) or email to enquiries@wpcs.uk.com and you could feature on our social media, website or even in the Society journal.
- Most of all remember to enjoy your adventurers and make as many memories as possible with your Welsh Pony, Cob or WPBR.
