Competing in BSJA Competitions at Pachesham

What to know about Pachesham and the BSJA

Pachesham has long been known as a premier equestrian centre providing excellent facilities for both novice and professional competitors jumping both affiliated and non affiliated events.

Our new facilities built in 2008 have included a new all weather arena with 32 high powered lights giving us the ability to compete into the evenings if necessary whilst having the size of arena that means we can build BSJA courses with plenty of space.

BSJA Classes at Pachesham

The BSJA is the governing body of show jumping in Great Britain, formulating the rules and codes of practice under which all affiliated competitions are held. Their purpose is to improve and maintain standards of show jumping, while encouraging members of all standards and at all levels to enjoy fair competition over safe and attractive courses.

The Association has classes to cater for all levels of ability whether you simply want to compete occasionally at weekends over a 2'9" course or aim eventually, for top class competitions at the Royal International Horse Show, Horse of the Year Show or Olympia.

They manage more than 2,000 shows each year providing in excess of 2,800 days of show jumping for members of the Association riding registered horses and ponies. These shows are run according to BSJA rules with at least two judges for each competition being members of the official panel of BSJA judges.

Courses are designed and built by BSJA course builders ensuring well run, enjoyable entertainment for competitors, families, owners and spectators. Show jumping is a sport that reaches millions of people through television and the media, the large county shows and the participation, either directly or indirectly, of a wide range of individuals competing on horses of varying ability. It is a sport enjoyed by the horse enthusiast, the professional, and those who have never been on or near a horse in their lives.

Neither you or your horse need to be an expert to compete in a BSJA competition. In fact by competing in professionally run competitions is the best way to gain experience and a greater knowledge of your hobby and will help you to progress your skills.

Unaffiliated competitions

For those of you who would rather compete or simply school your horse around a course without the need to enter a BSJA class we run unaffiliated competitions.

It is so important to make sure that whatever you enter the courses are properly built with correct distances. Training horses, learning to compete or simply entering competitions occasionally can be a passion for many of us and making sure that everything is perfect for you and your horse will make that day go even better.

Why not look through our catalogue of events for 2009 and book your entries now. It is quick and simple and will allow us to provide you and your horse with a better service throughout the year.
