Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I will be good enough?
These finals are meant for people like you. Anyone that can jump a double clear at 2’3” / 70cms is able to qualify.  Find someone that has already come to the centre and they will tell you that you can be sure that we cater for individuals of all standards. Most people found that, whether you win or not, it really is a great weekend of fun.

It seems a long way to travel.
We are only 8 minutes from the Severn Bridge, with main roads leading virtually right up to the entrance.  The Show has been designed for people like you to come and stay over. Why not team up with people from your livery yards or that live near and share a lorry?

I've never stayed away at a show before.
Don’t panic! There are always loads of new people at every show we run so you won't be on your own. The stable is included in the price, as is a space for your tent, caravan, car, jeep or lorry. The food is great value too so you won’t get ripped off once you’re here!

​

What do we need to do when we get there?
On arrival to the Showground, check in with the Stable Manager, who will show you to your stable. Your stable number is not the same as your running numbers.  The Speed Classes are all optional, so if you would rather rest your horse or pony you can do.  To be entered in the speed classes you MUST declare in the office. You will automatically be entered for the Heats.  Heats 1 and 2 are run in drawn order. This means that the night before the competition, the secretaries of the Show put all the names in a hat and make the order of competing random. This order must be adhered to and no squeezing in is allowed!  The jump off in Heat 2 will be in reverse order of points already earned.

​

What's the rule on BS membership / Open Classes
If either riders or horses / ponies have competed in BS classes in the 6 months prior to the show, they may only compete in the classes put on for them. Anyone caught in breach of this rule will be sent home and barred from future competitions. A full list of all our classes can be found above.  Just for Schools and Club BS membership is exempt from this rule.
