4 D2) Changing Schools a) A rider who changes schools in 2014 can only then compete for their new school, unless they qualified with their previous school, for the 2014 Championships, prior to moving schools, in which case, they can represent their previous school, but only at the Championships, with the Head Teacher of the previous School s permission. b) If a rider qualifies for one school, then changes school, they may ride at the Championships for the original school (see a above) unless they also qualify, in the same class, for their new school, in which case they must compete for the new school. c) If a rider has changed schools since originally qualifying, they may compete for their old school at the Championships (see a above) and also qualify for other classes for their new school. However, a rider may only compete for one school per class at the Championships. Riders may, therefore, represent more than one School at the Championships if the qualifications are in different classes, and the necessary permission is obtained from each School. d) Once a rider leaves a school, they may no longer compete for that school (except at the Championships as detailed above) and may not compete for their new school until they are enrolled at that school, and the School Year has started.
