Qualification process

Show jumping is a direct qualifier with heights as for this year from 60cm to 1m for Seniors and Juniors and 60cm – 80cm for Seniors on Ponies. The top 8 in the class qualify, regardless of the number of starts or clear rounds.

Combined training is also a direct qualifier for those venues running full CT competitions with the top 5 from each class qualifying. Levels are Prelim/60cm and Novice/70cm for horses and ponies and Elem/80cm for horses. 

A rider will need to download a Combined Training qualification form from the TB website which we sign off for the dressage/show jumping as applicable. The rider then sends the form to Trailblazers to purchase the qualification card directly

Dressage remains a two round process. Combinations who achieve a score of 58% or more at their given level in a first round qualifier, will need to purchase from YEC, a 2nd Round Qualification Card. This should be returned to Trailblazers who will then issue a 2nd round form which the Competitor take to their second round.
