AREAACADEMY APPLICATION 2018 SEASON

AreaAcademy places will be allocated to the member. Only one horse/rider combination can be taken to Area per discipline per level (either 80cm, 90cm, 1m, 110cm) – levels in one discipline may or may not affect the level in another (check relevant rule book).

When a horse is registered with any of the following organisations, a current copy of the record for that horse MUST be attached to the application. BRITISH DRESSAGE, BRITISH EVENTING, BRITISH SHOWJUMPING. Applications will not be processed without this record if applicable.
