·         Rosettes to 6th place subject to sufficient entries.   

·         £5 refundable deposit required for numbered bib (payable on the day)

·         Competitors are asked to keep to their time.  Those competitors who miss their times may forfeit their time for a later one, or be eliminated altogether. 

·         Placings will be judged on a clear round basis and the fastest time through a timed section of the course. A time limit will be set for the completion of the course.  Three refusals at any one fence will eliminate the horse and rider though riders may continue to complete the course at the discretion of the course officials.  Competitors riding as a pair must do so by one horse following the other, NOT to jump abreast.  No dressing fences. 

·         Competitors must jump fences in numerical order, keeping all red flags on their right; white flags on their left.

·         Please be aware that under the Horse Passports (England) Regulations 2004, it is illegal for an equine to be transported, for whatever reason, to any destination without its appropriate passport.  We have been informed that Trading Standards officers may check at competitions to spot check that every horse on the site has its appropriate passport.  Please, therefore, bring your passport with you when competing at one of our events as failure to do so may result in your entry being refused without any refund of pre-paid entries.

This event is a qualifier for the Finals of the South Essex Insurance Brokers BHS Cross Country Championships 2009.  In the nominated qualifying classes, the TWO highest placed riders (or two highest placed Pairs) who are BHS Gold Members ON THE DAY OF THE QUALIFIER will qualify for the Final.  In the event of a combination of horse/pony and rider already having qualified, the qualification will pass down to the next eligible competitor.  

 

You must provide the Entries Secretary with your BHS membership number when you enter the qualifier but we recommend you also carry your membership card on the day.  Non-members may still enter qualifying classes but will not be eligible to qualify.  Horses registered for British Eventing Horse Trials in 2009 are NOT eligible to qualify for the Finals ('Day Tickets' are acceptable).  Rules at qualifiers may differ from those at the Finals.  Classes at the Finals will be Novice and Pairs (both max 2’ 9”), and Open (max 3’ 3”).  Date (Autumn 2009) and venue for the Finals are to be confirmed.
