UK Riders Challenge

Show jumping and Dressage

The UK Riders Challenge 2012
“The friendly competition series for the unaffiliated rider.”

The UK Riders Challenge is a national competition series aimed at unaffiliated combinations of horse and rider. It gives every day riders the chance to compete for national glory in dressage and show jumping. The aim is simple – to help you enjoy your horse more!

The Challenge has a three-tier competition structure. Local qualifiers are held at centres around the country from July until May 2012. Successful partnerships then go on to compete in Regional Finals held from 1st June to 14th July and the challenge culminates in the National Finals, held on August 2012 at Arena UK.

There are options to compete at Preliminary, Novice & Elementary level in dressage and at Restricted Novice (0.65m) Novice (0.75m), Intermediate (0.85m) or Open (0.95m) heights in show jumping. The competition is split into junior (under 16 on 14th August 2011 for the 2011 Challenge) and senior sections, but there are no restrictions on the height of horses and ponies in either section, so a junior can ride a horse or a senior can ride a pony.
