F.A.Q.

Q. What age can I join my veteran to the Society

A. 15 years and over, there is no age limit, but we do ask that owners consider all elements when travelling
a horse over the age of 35 to a show.

Q. How do I qualify for Olympia?

A. You need to first join the Society,forms are available here to download. Then go to any of the qualifying shows that are on
our showing site.  You need to be one of three highest placed members of your class to gain a qualification card.  You will then
send this card to the showing office, who will then send you all the information you need to allow you to attend the next round,
this is the Regional Final.  The Champion of the Regional Final goes to Olympia.  This year you can go to as many Regional
Finals as you wish, BUT if anyone is seen to travel their veterans up and down the country and to every Regional their
membership * will be revoked and they may not compete in these classes until the following year, if at all.

Q.  When is my renewal due?

A. 1st January each year.
