If you are comfortably getting over 60% prelim/novice and you feel like you are ready then go for it. I started affiliated when Louis was consistently scoring high 60's/70's in novice and getting placed on most outings.

Eventing - when you want decent footing, properly built courses and a substantial fixture list to choose from.
Show jumping - when you want to start winning some money.
Dressage - haven't got there yet so I don't know. Not sure I ever will!

When you want to know that the course will be set at the correct height with correct spreads & will be built properly. The majority of affiliated shows now are on surfaces & then you know the footing will always be good & safe.

I totally agree - i found that i was consisantly jumping 3ft/3ft 3 and getting placed and wanted to go further....have more of a challenge, i guess you also have to figure out if your horse is capable, i jumped on a ticket for a while.
It's lovely to have well thought out courses, where the striding is right...and shows that are well organised. You also have so much more to aim for, like second rounds or national comps. I must admit though, it can be quite expensive.

I affliated BSJA so that I could get properly built courses and more choice of venues, however I rarely got to go BSJA due to various problems
I affliated dressage with previous horse as he was to get sold, so to add value. But also to get more consistent judging and better rung competitions with a better surface.

BSJA - when you're comfortably jumping 3'-3'3'' unaff, you're fed up of 'pot-hunters' and being cut up in the warm up, and you want well built courses, well organised shows and prize money.
