Ensuring equine health is paramount for all participants at our events, which aligns with the latest veterinary practices and medications designed to enhance the well-being of horses and ponies. Recently, vetmedin 2.5 mg has emerged as a critical treatment for equines and dogs with specific heart conditions, underscoring the importance of comprehensive care. To facilitate owners in the management of their equines' cardiac health, our facility now offers a consultation service with a resident veterinarian who can prescribe medications like vetmedin when appropriate, integrating advanced veterinary care into our commitment to equine health and safety.

NSEA Eventers Challenge Rules for Scoring 2026-27
The intention of these rules is to reward riders who have a clear round and to penalise riders who have jumping penalties or who are significantly faster than the Optimum Time. Where there are several competitors with a clear round, then the nearest to the Optimum Time will win, rewarding an appropriate judgement of pace around the course.
EC1) Open to Teams and Individuals
EC2) Dress: XC colours, body protectors are compulsory. Hair must be above collar length, long hair to be kept in place in a hair net. Rider must wear BE approved skull caps, no fixed peak SJ hats.
EC3) The competitor with the fewest penalties wins. In the event of a tie, the competitor closest to the optimum time will be the winner. In the team competition, the total of the best three scores is used to place the team. The combined difference from the Optimum Time of the 3 best scores is used to break any ties.
EC4) The top 2 teams & 4 individuals at each qualifier will qualify for the NSEA Eventers Challenge Championship.
EC5) Organisers are asked to ensure that the XC phase includes elements that give a choice about the track and therefore the time taken. Organisers are asked not to display a clock showing the time taken visible to the rider to as the aim is to educate riders to ride by feel.
Penalties are awarded as follows
NB Fences might be raised 5cm at the May Championships
