GR1) Classes & Eligibility
40cm Grass Roots classes are judged on rider position and style only over a simple course of fences. Riders may be led or assisted. Classes may be split into a) led and b) assisted. This class is for genuine novice riders only. There will be an additional prize for the best rider under 6yrs on 1st Jan 2021.
ANY RIDER who has competed in ANY 70cm class (or higher) on ANY pony at ANY competition (not just NSEA) is NOT eligible for this class, (except h/c if space permits)

50cm Grass Roots classes will be a single-phase competition. May be assisted but not led. There will be an award for the best rider under 7yrs on 1st Jan 2020. This class is for genuine novice riders only. ANY RIDER who has competed in ANY 80cm class (or higher) on ANY pony in ANY competition (not just NSEA) is immediately ineligible for Grass Roots 40 & 50 cm qualifiers & championship classes. Also, ANY PONY / RIDER COMBINATION who have competed at 70cm in ANY competition (not just NSEA) are NOT eligible for this class, (except h/c if space permits)

60cm Grass Roots classes will be single phase competitions, no outside assistance. There will be an award for the best rider under 8yrs on 1st Jan 2020. Horse/ Rider combinations who have completed courses at 80cm (at ANY competition, not just NSEA competitions) may only compete h/c in 60cm classes, or they must ride a different pony.

70cm Grass Roots classes. Single phase, no outside assistance Riders jumping at this level are not eligible for 40cm Grass Roots on ANY pony.

75cm Grass Roots (Open). Individual class only. Single phase, no outside assistance. This is a progressive class to bridge the gap between Grass Roots & other NSEA classes. It is open to Grass Roots riders / combinations who are starting to jump 80cm classes.

The purpose of the Grass Roots programme is to provide very novice riders with the opportunity to experience the excitement of competition. The rules are, therefore, kept as flexible as possible but, please embrace the “spirit” of the rules. Please do not use Grass Roots competitions as an easy opportunity to “pot hunt,” as it is not in the spirit of the competition. The top 6 teams & individuals at qualifiers will be eligible to compete at any Regional Grass Roots Championships.
