All riders must be a minimum of 14 years old and qualify with a minimum score of 60%. If the numbers qualified for any grade fall below four, wildcards will be issued to the next highest qualifying percentage over the remaining grades.
Should there be a space in the KBIS class the rider with the next highest percentage from across all qualifiers, regardless of grade, will be invited to compete.
The maximum number of riders competing in the Championships is 20. The competition is for International and future International riders. It is the rider who qualifies and the horse may be substituted.
The qualifiers are open to all riders with IPEC/RDA classification cards. Riders at Championships must be members of British Dressage.
In the event of a rider being unable to compete at the Championships, BD must be notified a week prior to the close of entries, the next highest percentage will qualify.
