You can jump a foxhunter as your first class if you wish. There is no limit in that way.
British novice is for horses under £100
Discovery is under £175
Newcomers is under £300
Foxhunter is under £600.
After that you jump opens etc.
By getting four double clears British novice you qual 2nd round, 4 double clears disc take you to disc 2nd rounds etc.

Basically you dont have to start off at British Novice but most people do. Once your horse has won over £100 then you are out of BN and can no longer jump it.
Once you have won £600 then you are out of Foxhunter but you can jump 'open' classes which start from 1mtr i think.
You can also try to get your 4 doubles clears in BN & Disc which will take you to the second rounds where you have to jump 3 rounds and get placed to go to the finals. The 3rd round goes up to about 1.10 though i think but i could stand to be corrected on that.
There are loads of qualifiers that you can enter too at various different levels. The most common one is that amatuer qualifiers. You have to qualify within the first 8 (usually) and then you get to do the second rounds. If you qualify for them too then you get to jump the finals at Areana UK.
It will say it on the schedules anyway.
If you have someone to go out with now to watch and learn then i would do that coz i have been going to affiliated shows for over a year now and i am still learning new things.

Do they really start at 80cm
See i told you that i learn new stuff everyday LOL.
I think it depends on the show centre for the qualifiers as i am sure at Norton Heath they were qualifying to 8th
I may have that confused with another qualifier though

So when does the "year" run from - is it Jan to Jan so if I join this Jan will I get a full year?

Yeah....Intro shows start at 80cm, but qualifiers start at 90cm...
In the Am 1st Rounds it *should* be the first 6 to qualify as long as you jump clear in the 1st round. However, I somehow managed to qualify by coming 10th at one show
The Am 2nd Rounds qualify down to 10th place though...

You can join at anytime and get the full year, i joined in October so my membership will run out next october.
As for qualifiers i think they start at all different times throughout the year.
Horses ages and things go from Jan to Jan though i think so even though my horse is not 5yo til half way through next year, when it comes to Jan she will be classified as a 5yo.
I think thats right (feel free to correct me if i am wrong anyone)

Haha.....Seems we are both wrong
Here's the info from the BSJA website :-
[ QUOTE ]
The maximum height allowed under INTRO is 1.00m. There is no restriction on the minimum level which will be determined by the market in any particular area.

No, not really......the Opens are often 80cm (or lower as per above posts). Technically the 90cm Am Qualifiers are Open in as much as they are open to any grade of horse, but not any rider.

BSJA 'Years'
BN/Discovery is from 1st May to 30th april (I think) so if you jump 4 dc in these classes before 1st may you can jump in the summer 2nd rounds
New/Fox is 1st June to 31st May
Amateur classes are 1st Sept to 31st August - so if you come in the top 6 between now and 31st august you can compete in the amateur 2nd rounds next autumn.

Yes you are quite correct (although the regional league years have just been changed to run Jan 1st to Dec 31st now)...the 'Years' I was referring to are your personal and horses membership years

I wasn't disaggreeing with you - just writing all the other years that exisit - why are BN/Dis different to New/fox?
Rambo

The whole thing is a bit farcical isn't it ! I don't know why they don't just standardise them all to say 1st April to 31st March (or whatever), and make life easier for everyone. I guess they're trying to tailor the different periods according to when the finals are (Scope is earlier than HOYS), but surely it doesn't really matter
