SJ Gradings

How does it all work?
What determines the grade?

Just curious

I only know about SJAI, but found this on the BSJA Horses imported from abroad will be graded according to their actual winnings (currency or points) or as decided by the Chief Executive, taking into account the number of starts, and the height levels at which the horse has competed abroad, provided such horses are registered with the Association under the same name as they were registered abroad and the appropriate papers are produced at the time of registration to confirm their identity. In the absence of any proof of identity horses imported from abroad will be graded with the following initial winnings according to their ages:

AGE WINNINGS WINNINGS
(After June 1st)
4 YEARS NIL NIL
5 YEARS £50 £100
6 YEARS £200 £300
7 YEARS £400 £500
8 YEARS+ £2000 £2000

Horses and ponies imported from Ireland will be graded with their points as reported by the Show Jumping Association of Ireland by converting points to pounds sterling by multiplying by a factor of 2.5 for Ponies and 9 for Horses.

Junior affiliated competitions offer two ways to compete. There are competitions that relate to the height of the pony and the age of the rider, or competitions that allow junior members to compete on any height of pony. The purpose of the latter is to allow smaller children to compete on their pony for a greater length of time.
 
If your horse was imported as a youngster you can still get it registered as a Grade C. My boy was imported as a 3 year old but not registered BSJA until in his 9th year. I sent off his passport which had vaccinations in this country from 4 years of age and BSJA said that was proof enough - although I did also send a letter of confirmation from the German SJ association to say my horse hadn't competed out there
