GENERAL GUIDELINES
• Tack and Hat check at indoor warm up arena – All riders must have the current pink hat tag and a spur tag, if spurs are worn by a PC member.
• Teams will be of three or four riders, best three scores will count
• LEAD REIN RIDERS - must remain on the lead rein at all times whilst in the ring including entering and leaving the ring and whilst warming up.
• ASSISTED RIDERS – This means someone in the ring with the rider, but not touching the pony, and not jumping the jumps.
• One competitor may ride no more than two horses/ponies in the same team - each horse/pony may only compete once in a class
• All competitors to report to the collecting ring 15 minutes before they are due to jump for tack inspection.
• Mini Champs guidance for those hoping to qualify. Any combination of horse/rider may not compete at Mini Champs where the height is 20cm lower than that at which they have previously competed. Riders who have competed at Regional Show Jumping or Eventing competitions are not eligible for the Mini Championships. Those rules do NOT apply to competing at this event, but will exclude you from qualification for Mini Champs.
• Classes 1-5: The top Branch/Centre team (not mixed teams) if less than 5 teams are entered, and the top two Branch/Centre teams if 5 or more teams entered, and top three individuals, whether they are in a team or not, at each branch team show jumping competition, will qualify for the Championships at the end of August 2026 at Bicton Arena.
