Which qualifiers attract you to shows?

[Darkly_Dreaming_Dex]

Found myself roped into helping organise a local charity horse show and they want to have some (unaffiliated) qualifiers SJ and /or showing classes. It is in Bucks and the only one i can think of is Chiltern & Thames BUT every local show has C&T- what other ones can you think of and if anyone can suggest any links to further info- i would be very grateful

Royal London and Equifest for showing - Equifest especially is becoming very popular, people are defecting from PoniesUK for it.

Uk riders for the show jumping.

Have you thought about the Sunshine Tour? (The one in Surrey - not spain!). You can get info on www.gbec.info

Ditto Equifest, Royal London for showing. I don't think Trailblazers really attracts people - only did one "local" show last year and everyone there was saying they didn't take the qualifications up as expensive to go.

For general Showing:

Royal London
Equifest
Trailblazers
ASS - Amateur Showing Society

are all attractive qualifers - Stinky is on his way to RL, Equifest, Trailblazers (first round done) and ASS champs so far.

If you are doing a bit more "serious showing"

BSPA
CHAPS
Ponies UK

championship qualifiers are also worth considering.

I am actually put off by qualifiers - ordinary people like me with not too good ponies stand no chance once classes become qualifiers and the pros start turning up, takes the enjoytment away.....sorry.
