Hello :-) And a Question on Junior BSJA

[MrsMozart]

Hello All

I'm new here and have a question... But first a quick intro: I have two daughters, two ponies, and one horse (and five dogs and a cat, but we won't go there

). The question: where on earth do I find out about the BSJA? In terms of heights of fences, ages of riders, heights of ponies, classess? We have a 13.1 pone, who was going to be sold as daughter went off the whole idea, but other daughter was so upset, we gave him to her instead. She is 13, very litghtweight, and very keen to BSJA the pone (he's ten); going by her height we reckon she has a year left on him. Hence diving in the deep end a bit! We're lucky in that we have easy access to a full set of BSJA jumps., and a good friend who is helping with the actual learning and building experience, but we have no idea as to what height jumps in different classes are; what classes she should be aiming for; etc etc etc. I've tried looking at the BSJA site, but couldn't find the info

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I have no idea if juniors/pony classes are different to adults but shouldnt you just go in at the first class? British Novice? its 90cm.

Found this on bsja website:

Thank you

I think that's the adult one, but you're right, we'll look for the lowest height classes in some schedules: I didn't want to register her and him without having an idea of what they would be facing.

Most shows now, have 75/80 cms open,
then there is
British Novice 85
Discovery 90
Newcomers 1metre
Foxhunter 1.10
Members cup 1.15
opens usually run alongside these.
+ anyothers on schedule

jnr bn is 80 for ponies not to have won £100

jnr dis is 90 for ponies not to have won £150
jr nc is 100 for ponies not to have won £300
jnr fh is 110 foe ponies not to have won £500
at some shows they may have a jnr intro class at 70

Thank you Hectorgrey and mbp. The jnr bn at 80cm it is then: the time it will take her to win £100 will hopefully be long enough for me to get used to the idea.

Go and enjoy!
At least you know she will be jumping at well organised events and correctley measured courses.
Have fun!!
