For 2026 selected classes will offer Novice / Intermediate and Advanced categories, allowing competitors to enter at the level best suited to them and their horse.
Your Competition. Your Way
2026 has a larger programme with more class options, again, just like last year, we have online classes and LIVE at Bury Farm classes, with an increased focus on levels.
For 2026 the Horsemanship Freestyle competition Advanced category will take place on the Friday evening!!
Competitors may enter bridleless, in a halter/headcollar, neck rope, with tack/no tack, with a saddle/bareback.
You choose the setup that is right for you and your horse, with flexibility to change it, to your horse’s needs.
Our scoring system has been carefully designed to work fairly across all setups, ensuring that everyone can compete together on a level playing field.
Choose what works best for your horse.
Make a plan. Prepare – If you arrive and need to adjust that plan, that’s absolutely fine.
This competition is about fun, purpose, learning, and inspiring others by getting out there – not just by winning – by being awesome, bringing your horse to a new place and trying it out.
This competition is for everyone.
