  • We organise our little competitors into two age sections within our height classes: 3-9-year-olds and 10 years and over. We take your child's age on January 1st each year.

    This way, every young rider gets the chance to compete in the most fitting age section for the entire year, even if they celebrate a birthday before our championship show in September.

    This is perfect for keeping the competition fair and fun!

    If there were a tie for placings, the highest style mark would take precedence.

    The Hobby horse must have a headcoller or bridle on whilst competing & riders must have hands on reins or Hobby horse whilst jumping.
