Area 18 Show Jumping Qualifiers

All entries should be made via your Branch DC or Branch Secretary through Horse Events

It is the DC’s responsibility to ensure that their entries all have valid memberships on the date of the event. No person will be allowed to ride if their membership has expired.

Rule Change – A new rule this year means members can enter both PC70 and PC80 (the same combination of horse and rider) , the PC90 and PC100 or the PC100 PC110.

In the non-qualifier classes we will extend this rule, so members can enter two consecutive classes, with the exception of the 30cm class which only allows lead reins. (i.e. if entering the lead rein class, members cannot ride in any other class)

Please refer to the eligibility rules 2024 Show Jumping Rule Book. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and your horse are eligible to enter the class before entries are sent in. All rules are available at – https://pcuk.org/officials/rulebooks/
