Schedule
All classes start at 9am unless stated. Unfortunately we can’t give start times for classes that follow on as it all depends on the number of entries.
Please arrive in good time to warm up for your class. All classes about to start are announced by the show caravan. Please ensure you use the same horse/pony name at each show for your points. Full club members accrue points towards end of season trophies – membership must be paid prior to the class to accrue points.
Unless stated, the use of spurs (blunt, turned down) will be allowed by seniors riding over 153cm horses only, at the discretion of the judge.
Same combination of Pony/Horse & Rider may not compete in BOTH show jumping rings.
Please read the rules and regulations before entering classes. All non members must complete a day membership form to compete at Bridgewater Riding Club, this is to comply with club insurance rules. Day members do not accrue points.
