Trailblazers is an organisation developed for the enthusiastic rider and sponsored by South Essex Insurance Brokers, Horse Magazine and Unicorn Trails. It is a competition structure suitable for the true amateur/recreational rider with four levels of show jumping competitions over heights of .75M / .85M / .95M and 1.05M and three levels of dressage comprising of Preliminary, Novice and Elementary. These competitions are split into Senior and Junior sections and run over two rounds, culminating in a Grand Final at Stoneleigh Park sponsored by SPILLERS^®

Approved Trailblazers Centres – promoting the Trailblazer concept, run the first two rounds of the competition.

There is one second round competition per participating venue and these will run from 14th March, 2009 to 10th May, 2009. In both dressage and show jumping there will be 4 to qualify for show jumping at each level and 4 to qualify for dressage at each level for the Grand Final which will be held at Stoneleigh Park (formerly Royal Show Ground) at the beginning of August, 2009.

Juniors classes for riders 16 years and under and not to have attained their 17th birthday by the 1st day of the National Championships.

Qualification for dressage second rounds will be on class percentage, with all tests at 58% and over gaining qualification at that level. Qualification for show jumping second rounds will consist of a double clear in a height class and will entitle that rider and horse/pony to compete in any number of qualifying second rounds at that height class.

In the event of a partnership ceasing the qualification ceases.

Once a competitor has qualified they will be issued with an envelope containing a congratulatory letter telling them that they have qualified from the Centre they qualified at. The competitor will then have the choice to either take up the qualification or not. Should the competitor choose to accept the qualification for the second rounds, he/she will return the congratulatory letter (within 14 days) to the Centre where you qualified, together with a cheque for £12.00, made payable to the Centre of Qualification and with TWO stamped addressed envelopes to the Centre they qualified at.
