Wondering if anyone could give a hand. Im very confused lol!

Firstly with PUK can you enter the classes without joining, I want to see if my horse stands a chance before joining up! Then I understand you can get a "ticket to ride" which allows you to qualify, do you need to get a ticket for every class you do or does one ticket work for the whole show/winter season?

Next Im confused about classes! Looking through the rules I see lots of classes listed but some are basically the same (different sponsors) and Im confused! Do the summer and winter champs carry different classes then?

One specific Q - the "P(UK) DOWNLAND SMUGGLER WHP WINTER CHAMPIONSHIP" states that me, (nearly 16) should be riding something around 143cm. However I ride a 152cm and the rules say that "153cms/20 years". Does that just mean I can't do this class then?!

Finally - sorry for all the questions! Am I actually eligible to join!? My horse is unregistered, no breeding known nothing..but she's around 152cm (no life height certificate, will we need to get one?) and Im 15, 16 very soon.

It's more the age im asking about, looking at the other classes they seem to state either "any age" or Im ok for being under 25! But just to check, am I going to be ok riding her?

Thank you to anyone who can help! Ive found the PUK website rather confusing and not all that helpful baring in mind Ive not done/had anything to do with ponies UK before!

yes you can be up to 20 years old in the 153cm class. im 16 and i do the 153 class!

go to www.niwha.co.uk and it explains it much better!

it dosent matter what breeding as long as the horse goes well... but i dont know too much about the tickets or membership as im with the irish pony society!
