Amy Mathieson Amy Mathieson

    13 qualifiers will be encouraged to keep the 3 separate classes and award the single HOYS ticket to the winner of the championship. However, 3 places will be on offer at the Arab Horse Society (AHS) National Show in July, so a total of 18 Arabs will go through to the Birmingham finale (8-12 October).

    The change has also been made to allow time in the show’s schedule to include a new showing championship for part-bred ponies.

    Qualifiers will be split between classes for part-bred Arab ponies, part-bred Welsh ponies and a combination of the two. At the final, there will be one class for all qualified ponies.
