Frequently Asked Questions What to do now! Find a Qualifying Venue near you. Contact them and ask when they are next running a Qualifying Class. Go to the event and try to get a double clear in any of the different height categories. If you do manage to jump double clear you will be given a Mini Qualification Card. With the unique number on this card, you will then be able to enter online at www.cricklands.com. Alternatively, get a Registration Card from the Show secretary, and send in this card, together with the 10 deposit, and you will be qualified for the Finals. Its as simple as that. How do I know I ll be good enough? It seems like a long way to travel? I ve never stayed away at a show before? What do we do once we are there? These finals are meant for people like you. Anyone that can jump a double clear at 2 3 / 70cms is able to qualify. Find someone that has already come to the centre and they will tell you that you can be sure that we cater for individuals of all standards. Most people found that, whether you win or not, it really is a great weekend of fun. We are only 8 minutes from the Severn Bridge, with main roads leading virtually right up to the entrance. The Show has been designed for people like you to come and stay over. Why not team up with people from your livery yards or that live near and share a lorry? Don t panic! Last year saw more first-timers than ever before. The stable is included in the price, as is a space for your tent, caravan, car, jeep or lorry. The food is great value too so you won t get ripped off once you re here! On arrival to the Showground, check in with the Stable Manager, who will show you to your stable. Your stable number is not the same as your running numbers. The Speed are all optional, so if you would rather rest your horse or pony you can do. To be entered in the speed classes you MUST declare in the office. You will automatically be entered for the Heats. Heats 1 and 2 are run in drawn order. This means that the night before the competition, the secretaries of the Show put all the names in a hat and make the order of competing random. This order must be adhered to and no squeezing in is allowed! The jump off in Heat 2 will be in reverse order of points already earned. (If the class is run 2 Phase, the first round will be in reverse order of points already earned). What s the rule on BSJA membership/open? What do we need to bring with us? If either riders or horses / ponies have competed in BS classes in the 6 months prior to the show, they may only compete in the classes put on for them. Anyone caught in breach of this rule will be sent home and barred from future competitions. A full list of all our classes can be found on page 4. You will need to bring all your own mucking out equipment and water buckets. We sell haylage and shaving on site at competitive prices but you may bring your own if you prefer. We do not allow straw or paper in the stables. 6
