BSJA - registering horse question, help!

[hannah87]

I was wondering if anyone has any idea about this.
My mare was registered with the BSJA as a 14.2 pony when she was 5, for a year. She did a few BNs, very little.
She is now 12, and i am 20. She also now stands at 14.3 (shes a welshie x and grew suddenly at 6). Can i re-register her with the BSJA as a horse to compete in seniors? thanks.

yes you can, provided she hasn't jumped as a pony within a year.

oh wow ok, great. thanks very much. Will i need to prove her height? (her passport still states shes 14.2)

No. you can jump a pony as horse, just not he other way round. I have one thats the other way round, he's about the same height as yours, I don't know if he will grow much more but might as he's only young and as I'm a senior, I have registered him as a horse to start him off properly but if he seems like in a year he would make a better pony I will measure him down to 148. I would be able to get away with this providing he had an official measuring and measured in. You see the odd pony at seniors and TBH you normally have the advantage over the bigger horses as you can make better turns!
