Area 15 Qualifiers & Championships for 2020
The Winter Championships at Grantham and the National Championships at Lincoln and the Regional Championship at Hartpury in the summer have been cancelled.

Important information for team members
Please note that:
Please note that:
- for all Area competitions we need details of your horse such as its name on the passport, the passport number and the horse's microchip number so it would be useful if you could fill in the Data Entry Form and email it to the training coordinator. The requirement for the microchip number is new and has been introduced because both The Equine Identification (Wales) Regulations 2019 and the Equine Identification (England) Regulations 2018 require that all horses must have been microchipped by October 2020.
- all horses/ponies need to be fully flu vaccinated in accordance with BRC Rules.
- when competing at BRC events the horse must have had a flu vaccination within 6 months and 21 days of the competition. An extract from the BRC Handbook 2020 can be downloaded here. Please ask if you are in any doubt.
- Hats and Body Protectors, if required, must comply with BRC standards. These can be seen by clicking on the links.
- Whips for all jumping qualifiers must comply with the new BSJA Rules (applicable from 1 January 2020).
- Further details are in the BRC Handbook, and any subsequent amendments, which can be downloaded from the BRC website
- Pre-entry fees will be paid by the Club but all other entry fees for each qualifying competition will need to be covered by the competitor.
These entry fees range from around £17 for Dressage, Showjumping and Arena Eventing to around £48 for the Horse Trials
