These classes are qualifiers for the BRC Combined Championship at Aston le Walls. Where there is a team of 4, it is the best 3 scores which count. Teams at 70 and 80 must be Senior or Junior, at 90 and 100 they may be a mix.
The Challenge consists of a timed show jumping course followed by a cross country course, sometimes immediately without a pause, all on grass. As a result, both courses are ridden in cross country attire with Blue label 2018 body protectors being compulsory. The show jumping may include a “skinny” fence, an off-set double, or alternative fences.
2025 Challenge Qualifier will be at Moreton EC on Sunday 29th June.
