Height limits for a horse competing a prix st george?

Here there aren't height limits. Only talent limits.


(aside from the occasional harsh judgement from judges, but to be fair I hear more about that anecdotally from owners who think their unschooled horse with terrible paces being ridden by a sack of spanners should have won, than actual true bias...)
 
Champion de Luxe Junior, Botocelli, Gigolo, Danny Boy B, Ferrari, Andexer, Constantin, Monticello, FS Don't worry (and many many more...).

Maybe not quite 12.2, but all ponies competing at FEI levels.
 
I have seen a Sec A win at Elementary (Affiliated) with a young rider. Talent all round is what is needed but young jockeys grow & need bigger ponies/horses not matter how talented the small ones are. By the time a rider has all the right attributes they have generally outgrown the 12.2hh.
 
Thanks for all the replies :). So would I be able to compete my pony till his old it's just I got told by someone I wouldn't as when I got to a certain age I had to move on to horses to compete at higher levels with him.
 
You can compete in NATIONAL classes with any height of horse/pony. You can only compete in INTERNATIONAL classes as an adult, with a horse. No ponies. Has to be bigger than 148cm I think (been a while since I checked the rule so not sure of exact height limit).
 
Pony FEI classes are for under 148cm, these are the equivilant to Medium level. Riders U16.

I don't think there are any limits for 'open' classes.
