Entering a Class 2023

Our classes were all changed in 2022, we have new leagues and we’ve made things as fair as possible for all riders.

First and foremost, entering a class is the same.  You will need to become a member if you aren’t already, to enable your results to be input into the system. 

Enter your chosen class via our navigation link above ‘Enter Classes’. 

Standard Class –

List of standard classes – 

* In-Hand  

* Walk Only Ridden/Walk Plus

* Intro Level 1 (two tests available each month)

* Prelim Level 2 (two tests available each month)

* Novice Level 3

* Elementary Level 4

* Medium Level 5

Our standard classes now run from In-hand & Walk only level up to Medium Level 5.  All levels are run separate, Intro Level 1 & Prelim Level 2 will also have and extra test judged separately each month (you can enter either or both).  These classes will all run towards our leagues/championship classes (see further down for our league information).  You do not need to take part of the leagues or championship classes if you do not wish to do so.  To qualify for the championship class you will need to gain 3 scores of 62% or over throughout each league period.  

Class Section – what does this mean?  

If you would like to compete towards a particular section please select it in the drop-down on entering.  You only submit one video per test entered but you can enter up to 2 sections, the sections will use the score you received in the main class (or highest score if two tests entered) but has an extra championship class restricted to qualifiers of that particular section only.  To qualify for the championship class you will need to gain 3 scores of 62% or over throughout each league period.  

Available sections are as follow – 

Ex Racehorse – For those who have raced or been in race training, whether Arab, Thoroughbred or Standardbred who have raced or trained racing flat, hurdles or cart.  Proof of racer identity may be required.  All horses must be of 4 years or older. 

Veteran Horse Section – For horses that are 15 years or older as of January 1st of the current year.

Iberian Horse Section – For horses with Iberian breeding, whether full or part-bred. 

Cobs only Section – For horses of a ‘cob’ breed/stamp only. 

Young Horse – For horses of 4-6 years from the 1st January of the current year.  

Coloured Horse – A section purely for those with coloured horses to compete against one another.  Those entered into the Championship class will be judged on markings etc too. 

Rescue Horse – For those who had have a rough start but now in ‘better’ hands.  Show off your rescued equine.

Junior Rider Section – For riders of 15 years and under.
