    Bsja legal boots... help!

    There are no restrictions on front boots so you'll be fine using tendon boots and over reach boots on the front. It's only hind boots the boot rule applies to and there is a picture guide on the British Showjumping website that explains reasonably well as to what hind boots are allowed...

    HOYS Bag Ban

    The bag rule is from Resorts World Arena (different from the NEC) and is the same for all events held there so it's not a rule put in place by HOYS. In terms of food, if you don't want to pay the prices in HOYS and don't mind a short walk, then Resorts World with all the restaurants is...

    Eraser Stakes Rules - Showjumping

    Hanbury Show, Reddditch?

    The ground is really good over there at the moment. My sister is stewarding (I think) and they had a meeting there on Wednesday and she said the ground is really good. Think its firm but with plenty of good grass cover so risk of slipping without studs should be low I would imagine. Good luck...
