Rider any age, except stallions (see rules in section A 3.2). Riders may only ride one pony in each class.The owner does not have to be an NPS member for the pony to enter this competition but only ponies owned by NPS members can qualify for the final. The highest placed pony, owned by an NPS member, in each class goes forward to the final. Where this pony has already qualified the pony standing next in line, which is owned by an NPS member and has not already qualified, receives the qualification. Qualification may go no lower than third place. Ponies must be shown in a snaffle bit.The course will consist of a minimum of seven fences, one of which must be a spread. A water jump will not be included in qualifying rounds but will be included in the final. A change of direction must be included. If a hazard is included, it will be numbered and judged as a fence
hope this helps
