About 3 I think - but they don't have to be double clears.
There is criteria in the rule book - has to be less than a certain penalty score in dressage / SJ and I think youmight be allowed 1 stop XC (may be getting confused though).

I thought it was 4 xc clears with a limit on sj faults but not sure.

MrsT is right it is 4 clear XC with no more than 16 pen SJ (excluding time pen). This applies to both horse and rider.

That seems like a lot of clears to get before you can compete in something the same height just over 2 days!
Thats ok though just wanted to know - am a bit limited nxt yr as have to do ON

I would have thought so - not sure though

Yes HC would count as the rules just say Novice or higher.
Also unlike the FEI rules (which allow only the current or preceeding 2 calendar years^) there is nothing about a time limit just that you need the 4 clear rounds XC with 16 or less SJ pens.
^ PS for CCI* one of the qualifying results has to be within 3 months of the event

Are you aiming for Gt Witchingham then?
So am I - was aiming for it last year actually but Lex has been injured since April.
Fingers crossed for this year!
Ambition is a 1* - just want to wear top hat and tails before I retire!

It's not the same height. 2 day Novices are basically the same as a novice except some of the fences are intermediate/1* height / technicality I believe. I was planning to do a 2 day earlier this year but instead did the 1 day novice. I walked the courses, basically the 2 day followed most of ours but had the odd bigger / scarier / more technical fence. I thought a 2 day novice is basically an intermediate?!

In which case would be good to do it to set me up for the 1* then

MagicMelon - a Novice 2 day is not the same as an intermediate ! The max heights/widths XC are the same as Novice. It is likely that there will be a few more at the maximum height & may look scary but this would be due to the fact that same Novice fences are not at the max.

Oh. They novice 2 days Ive seen had the odd fence which looked massive...?! I guess the 1 days might not be up to height, they seem it though! I always thought a novice 2 day was like the step between a 1 day N and an Intermediate.
