Qualifier Information

National Amateur classes have been created to give amateur BS members an annual National Amateur Final to aim for.  There are 4 different classes at different heights: 85cm, 95cm, 1.05 & 1.10.

The finals are a week along show held at Aintree Equestrian Centre in Liverpool.

To qualify riders must jump  5 double clears in a National Amateur Qualifier class, with the same horse at the same height, within a 12 month period, which runs from 1st September- 31st August.

There is a wild card chance to qualify via second rounds, normally held September/October.  To qualify for these a horse and rider must jump a double clear in a National Amateur Qualifier at the relevant height.

There are no restrictions on horses but there are on riders, so that it is restricted to Amateurs.

At the finals there are also Veteran classes, for which the only qualification is the riders age, and additional classes that can only be entered by horse and riders who have qualified for the show.  Meaning a full week of competition is available to all.

At the finals each height has two qualifiers, held over the week, for the Sunday’s Grand Prix Finals.  The final qualifiers are 5cm bigger than the qualifiers, e.g. the 85cm is 90cm. The top 20 riders from each go through to the final days Grand Prix.
