Junior Competitors are those under 18 on 01/01/24 Entries welcome but form must be signed by the adult responsible for them on the day and juniors must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

Restricted and Open Sections/ Numbers
Each competitor is required to specify whether they are Restricted or Open in each class. Failure to do this means they will automatically be entered in the Open section.
This requirement is designed to encourage compettors to step up a level and promote genuine competition.

Are you restricted or open?
The IDG shows are intended to help riders of all abilities and experience. Within our classes we have Restricted and Open sections.
The purpose of the Restricted sections is to give inexperienced riders a level of competition that allows them to feel comfortable competing with others of the same level.
We ask that riders should self regulate and not compete at Restricted if they have;
• Ridden or competed 2 levels above that of the class entered, in any competition, RC, PC or BD. Also the corresponding levels at BE.
• Won any of the IDG League Championships at the level entered.
• Won BD points at the level or above. For BE the rider should have no points.
• Horse experience is not relevant.

Open classes are for more experienced riders to compete young/inexperienced horses, as well as more established combinations.

Numbers
You will be given a competitor number with your time. Please note that you will need to display that on either your horse’s bridle or saddlecloth whilst in the warm up and competition arenas. It is your responsibility to provide your own number which can be obtained from saddlers and on-line. There will be a few sets available for use at the show for a £5 deposit.

ENTRY FEES: Members £17.00, Non-members £20.00.

Highest placed Junior in each class/section is awarded a rosette.

No entry fee will be refunded without a doctor’s/veterinary certificate.
