–
· This competition will run under BRC Rules, anyone in attendance will be bound by the BRC Code of Conduct. It is important that all competitors are aware of the rules relating to this competition – please see the current BRC Handbook and also the BRC Rule Amendments and Changes Document which can be found at the link below: https://www.bhs.org.uk/british-riding-clubs/brc-downloads/brc-handbook/
· All hats must have a visible current BRC/BE/PC PINK hat tag in place before they are worn on the showground, to show that they meet the current safety standards. There will be a trained official available on the day to do this for you if your hat does not currently have one. For up to date hat rules please see the current BRC Handbook.
· Please note that the PINK Horse-Events Hat Tags will NOT be accepted and the rider will need to get their hat tagged with one of the listed tags.
Body Protectors
· A body protector is not mandatory for this competition but can be worn.
· Please note the BETA Level 3 2009 Purple Label is no longer accepted as a recognised standard for Body Protectors at BRC Events. It is a riders responsibility to ensure they have the correct standard of a BETA Level 3 2018 BLUE Label on their body protectors.
· However, riders using Exo Body Cages are allowed to wear those with a purple 200 BETA level 3 label, but must inform the organiser of the event that they will be using an Exo Body Cage.
Flu Vaccinations & Microchips
Your horse must have up to date influenza vaccinations in line with rule G7 in the current BRC Handbook. There is also a downloadable flu vac checking spreadsheet available to check the flu vaccination: BRC Downloads | The British Horse Society (bhs.org.uk) under ‘Competitions’.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL BE CHOOSING RANDOM TEAMS TO CHECK PASSPORTS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. TEAM MANAGERS WILL NEED TO GET PHOTOCOPIES OF PASSPORT PAGES SHOWING HORSE NAME, MICROCHIP, ALL PAGES WITH FLU/TET VACCINATIONS AND EMAIL FOR CHECKING WHEN REQUESTED.
Entries
Entries for the BRC Qualifier must be done via your Team Managers – those riding in the qualifiers are ineligible to ride in the Open sections other than after they have completed all qualifier rounds.
All qualifier entrants must submit a pre-entry to BRC (fees can be found in the current BRC Handbook) at least 21 days before the date of the qualifier. Pre-entries can be made via the pre-entry website https://brc.bhs.org.uk/login?referral=%2Fselect . Late pre-entries may be accepted at the discretion of the organiser with a late surcharge of £10 per individual and £20 per team (payable to BRC HQ) if space permits. Late entries cannot be guaranteed and so therefore must not be paid for until approval from the organiser has been gained.
Once the pre-entry has been made, an area entry must be made via the details outlined on this schedule.
If the date of the qualifier is cancelled for any reason and rescheduled within 21 days, the close of pre-entry will remain. If the qualifier is rescheduled for more than 21 days after the original date, entries will re-open. Late entry fees will not be refunded. Eligibility is taken from the Friday before the qualifier, regardless of rescheduling. Pre-entries that cannot attend the new date may be issued a credit note but the Team Manager must inform the office in writing before the cut-off date which the area will be informed of upon rescheduling.
