go to any place that is running UK chasers and you will need to get a double clear, either be it jump off or 1 phase. to qualify you nt need to be a member, but you do need to be a member if you go to the second rounds. You can go to as many centres as you like to qualify. The finals are held at moreton morrell and i believe the lowest was 75cm but i could be wrong...hope this was some help

I qualified and went down to the final about 3 years ago. You have to do a double clear to qualify in the first round as flintus said which I did in the 75cm (about 2'6"ish). You then have to register to go into the second round when the jumps are raised to 85cm (2'9"ish). I think but might be wrong you have to come either 1st or 2nd to then go down to the final. I think but again memory isnt great the final is about 90cm (3') definitely looked bigger than other rounds - LOL.
Anyway I think there are more classes now - 65, 75, 85, 95 and 105 - so about 2'3" to 3'6 but obviously going up in each round.
Hope thats some help. I've just qualified in the novice dressage and am planning to start SJ in the next few weeks so I'm hoping I can qualify SJ too and go down and do both as they are on subsequent days.
