Can I ride horses in adult classes as a junior?

Yes. Junior members can compete in pony classes on ponies and in adult (senior) classes on horses, but not on ponies in adult classes. Senior competitions are open to horses ridden by Adult, Associate or Junior members.

There are age limits on horse class heights (first-round starting height):

From October 2026 there's an exception for combinations selected for Nations Cups. If they've jumped a 1.30m Nations Cup (or its Grand Prix) and achieved "a clear round and 4 faults or better", they can jump up to 1.40m. The same result at 1.40m lets them jump up to 1.45m.

Young Rider classes are open to riders up to the end of the year they turn 21.
