BE Question...

[poggio]

If a horse last evented properly in 2006 but actually won at Intro and PN that season, could they then compete in an Intro this autumn??

I only ask as one of mine hasn't really done anything since 2007, brought him back into proper work this summer and he's doing unaff stuff. Will run him at SL unaff next month at Intro-ish standard and was then thinking if he went nicely enough I'd like to pop him round Mount Ballan in October to finish off his 're-introducing' period as it is 10minutes down the road. Would much rather pop him round the PN but he's a sensitive soul who can lose confidence ever so easily so have to have it my mind that it may be Intro until next season.

as long as they don't have points they can compete at Intro/PN.
copied from rule book online;
BE90
Grade 4 horses and ponies only,
Day Ticket Horses and ponies
without points. There is no
obligation to move out of BE90.

Yep, that's allowed. It's only when they start getting points and things that it affects entries lower down the ranks.

i think you can do the PN unless he has won 2 PNs or more in which case you need to go in the open section.

if you want to do Intro i think you will need to go in open section if they have one- i think points/wins stay with a horse for life.

 

[millitiger]

but my horse has no points and cannot do normal PN- he has to go in the OPN (sorry BE100 Open!) as he has won over 2 PN.

 

[AandK]

i'm sure that rule was ditched this year, i cannot find anything re the 'win 2 PN's and go to OPN' in the 2009 rulebook?

ETA - taken from rulebook online;
BE100
Open to Grade 4 horses and
ponies without points that are
either registered or have Day
Tickets. There is no obligation to
move out of BE100.

Old rules millitger, there is nothing forcing you out of PN or Intro any more unless you get points!!

 

[Sarah_Jane]

That was ditched only restriction on BE100 is to have no points

 

[Thistle]

That rule def changed this year.

It changed to 3 last year or year before and think it was ditched this year.

 

[Equus Leather]

Sorry millitiger that's not correct....see above.

 

[poggio]

ahhh thanks guys... I didnt realise that rule had been ditched either Millitiger, hence why I asked in OP. I dont mind going in open classes or having to run HC etc but if we're allowed to compete then I shan't worry too much

 

[Equus Leather]

Go and win them rosettes!!

 

[poggio]

hmm not too sure that will happen, im sure his wins all them years ago were just fluke

 

[millitiger]

i had better tell the Levetts then as he is with them for the pupils to ride and they have been going in Open classes all season!

poor girls!

 

[tessaolley]

also if the rider hs competed in advanced or above then you have to enter the open section (or so I think so anyway!)
