Hack Classes

These classes are held under the rules of the British Show Horse Association. Horses must be registered with the Association and all owners, exhibitors and riders must be Association members. Riders must be 15 years of age or older.

Classes 60 and 61 are qualifiers for the Royal International Horse Show. The first prize-winner will qualify to compete at the final. If already qualified the second will qualify, if the first and second are already qualified then the third will go forward.

Horses competing in the Sport Horse Breeding of Great Britain classes at their affiliated shows cannot compete in Hack and Riding Horse classes at the same show.

The three highest placed prize winners in all open affiliated classes will qualify to compete in the BSHA Classic Supreme Classes at the National Championship Show on September 10th and 11th 2010.

The BSHA offer a Novice, Young Rider and Amateur rosette in each open class and a Championship rosette for each section.

The highest placed Amateur Home Produced exhibit in all Royal International qualifying classes will receive a Blue Chip rosette and £5 money-off voucher. The highest placed amateur will need to contact Sarah Butler by email sarah@bluechipfeeds.com or on 0114 266 6200 ( a maximum of one rosette to be won at a RIHS qualifier. The award will then pass down the line).

A day ticket will allow entry into Novice, Amateur, Young Rider, Home Produced, Working and Open affiliated classes only but will not allow entry into RIHS of HOYS qualifying classes.
