Area Entries
All entrants must submit a pre-entry to BRC (fees can be found in the current BRC Handbook) at least 21 days before the date of the qualifier. Pre-entries can be made via the pre-entry website https://brc.bhs.org.uk/login?referral=%2Fselect . Late pre-entries may be accepted at the discretion of the organiser with a late surcharge of £5 per individual and £10 per team (payable to BRC HQ) if space permits. Late entries cannot be guaranteed and therefore must not be paid for until approval from the organiser has been gained. Once the pre-entry has been made, an area entry must be made via the details outlined on this schedule.

If the date of the qualifier is cancelled for any reason and rescheduled within 21 days, the close of pre-entry will remain. If the qualifier is rescheduled for more than 21 days after the original date, entries will re-open. Late entry fees will not be refunded. Eligibility is taken from the close of pre entry from the original date the qualifier is scheduled for. Pre-entries that cannot attend the new date may be issued a credit note but the Team Manager must inform the office in writing before the cut-off date which the area will be informed of upon rescheduling.

Entry Restrictions:
Horses can only enter classes of 2 consecutive heights (i.e. 80cm and 90cm or 70cm and 80cm) Juniors and seniors may share a horse, provided they compete at consecutive heights or in restricted classes (ie Senior 70 and Junior 70cm or Junior 80cm and Mixed 90cm)

For mixed classes a horse may only compete once.
