How young can I start, and what limits apply to younger riders?

Question

Accepted Answer

Starting age: you can't compete in any British Showjumping competition, including Club and Just For Schools, until the year of your 5th birthday. Up to the year before your 8th birthday: you can't jump classes with a first-round height above 90cm. The exception is a national class with a start height above 90cm that you and your pony have qualified for. 8 and under: you can only compete on ponies 138cm and below.
