Combinations that have competed with British Showjumping (excluding Club Classes), between 30th September 2024 and the date of qualification, at any height above the class that they have qualified for are not eligible to compete (e.g. a competitor that has jumped 85/90cm tracks with British Showjumping at the time of qualification will not be eligible to compete in the 80cm class at the Unaffiliated Championships) No outside assistance is permitted at the Championships. Unaffiliated Competitions are run under British Showjumping rules, with the exception of spurs. Junior riders are not permitted to wear spurs. AGE CLASSIFICATIONS – Junior Classes – Under 16 years on a pony ONLY.
