Trailblazers

Just searching for new thinks to do with my horse

Does any one do Trailblazer competitions?

How are they different from Riding Club?

Thank you

trailblazers are no different to rc really
their website is really helpful http://www.trailblazerschampionships.com/

They're supposed to be half way between RC and affiliated, but I couldn't detect much difference to unaffiliated.

I did SJing a couple of years ago, and was astonished to find they still only give 3 faults for a refusal!!!! I think its still the same.

Riding clubs are usually local and Trailblazer comps are local until you get to finals.
You have to get a double clear to qualify first round then be in top few of 2nd rounds to qualify for finals.
Finals consist of competitors from all over country.

From my experience (dressage novice/elementary) i found this year when i qualified for the finals the standard was more like affiliated at novice and elementary level. There was some serious horse power there. The first rounds though are just like RC bar the odd few, and the 2nd rounds vary depending on the venue i've found.

Yes at the finals there's definitely competition as people have got through two rounds to get there so no-one there by fluke.
