BE registration..for ponies!

Depends what level you want to compete. If just Intro then you register with JRN coordinator, otherwise you have to qualify to go up levels. Fast tracking is taking the place of accredition, so if you want to start higher than Intro or move up quicker you have to ask JRN reg coord to fastrack you.

Ponies over 142cm have always been able to do Intro and PN. Now they can do Nov as well. Don't think ponies under 142 or 141 whichever it is can do BE though.
 
Yep, you can register your pony and get the same entitlement as horses (ballot stickers and regular entry forms), plus you can pick up points if you compete in classes where they are awarded. To compete up to PN level (including open classes) you only need to register with your JRN coordinator.

From 1st Jan 2007 riders under the age of 16 will be accepted into BE on a pony/horse and rider qualifications basis:

PN - Combination must have completed 2 clear rounds SJ with no more than 12 SJ jumping penalties at Intro or PC level 3.

Novice - Combination must have completed 3 clear rounds XC with no more than 12 SJ jumping penalties at PN or PC level 4 and must complete a JRN or Novice of the JRN coordinator's choice with no more than 20 jumping penalties XC before competing in a Novice class.

If you have competed at a particular level in 2006 you can continue to compete at that level in 2007 but to move up you must reach the qualification criteria or be fast-tracked by your JRN coordinator.

I love this rule, it is totally impossible

"Novice - Combination must have completed 3 clear rounds XC with no more than 12 SJ jumping penalties at PN or PC level 4 and must complete a JRN or Novice of the JRN coordinator's choice with no more than 20 jumping penalties XC before competing in a Novice class."

so to move up to Novice you must have alrady completed one which you can't have done coz you haven't qualified to do it
 
I assume it means that before you are free to enter any Novice you want you need to have done a JRN or the coordinator will choose you an easy/straightforward good first Novice? I guess it also means that you do your first event 'on probation' so they can see if the step up to Novice is too much for you?

No, spoke to BE and you can't do a Novice unless you have already completed one with not more than 20 pens, UNLESS you apply for fastracking, when you will be told to do a PN first and see how you get on. of course once you reach 16 you can enter as many as you want. Exceptions may be made for proven horse and rider proven on another horse.

Tha fastracking is to replace the old accreditation.
 
That rule has been in use for a least a year as a friend or mine had to do a JRN clear before being able to do go novice. The JRN had to watch here while do9ing the JRN to ,see if she and the horse were capable of goiung round any novice course.
 
By Novice BE means anytning at Novice level including JRN.

Previous to next year the only way to do a Nov track on a pony was to be under 16 and do FEI. BE would not allow 148 and under to do any Nov including JRN, meaning that ponies had to be sold on once the rider reached 16 unless they wanted to stay at Intro or PN. The other alternative wa sto let the horses feet grow and get it measured 'up'. Just quoting what I was told by their rules dept here.

Also ponies could not be fully registered (unless FEI)so every time a small adult or junior with a pony wanted to do any event the pony had to be day ticketed costing £15 and meaning that the chance of being ballotted would increase.

At last, hopefully due to my and others constant moaning at BE the rules are not so sizest. Our pony would happily do PC area over Novice tracks but was not allowed to do JRN. (Bee was going to apply to do FEI this year as she meets the criteria but as she now also has a horse it makes sense to do JRN with both)

The pony is qualified to go Nov anyway under the new rules that take into account PC results now as well , as she has a 100% clear XC at PN this year over 4 BE events and a number of PC including area. She also has 3 clears over Novice tracks and 2 with just 20 pens. She has also only had 4 faults SJ at events last year. When she was accredited in 2005 she was accredited for PN and NOv by the JRN coord so she will be OK.

However the New Horse is a different story. He has evented to Intermed, but having just got him in Aug we have been taking it slowly and done some dressage and SJ and a little PC, but not evented him. Luckily at PC the instructor is a Junior GB team selector so he has been seen by someone whose opinion counts!.

I will have to apply to have him fastracked so he can do JRN as the combination of him and daughted have not done JRN. He will have to do at least one PN to prove himself first (which we would have done anyway as I am a cautious mummy!).

Hopefully he won't have to work all the way up from Intro again, or it will cost me a fortune in entries and I think he may take the piss at that height. He has 21 points so is proven enough. Bee also has lessons with an accredited trainer so hopefully can get a referral letter from him too.

If all else fails she is 16 in July and can then enter what she wants as once you become 16 you no longer need to qualify, just apply to JRN coord to be accepted!

However new ho
