Intermediates

Intermediate showing classes were introduced by the British Show Pony Society (BSPS) as a stepping stone towards adult classes. The classes allow riders to compete under BSPS rules up to the age of 25, prior to entering the more demanding hack, riding horse and hunter classes.

There are four intermediate classes:

1. Small intermediate show riding type (SRT)

2. Large intermediate show riding type (SRT)

3. Intermediate show hunter type (SHT)

4. Intermediate working hunter pony (INT WHP)

Unlike adult classes, the judge does not ride intermediate horses and riders are required to perform an individual show.

The BSPS is the governing society for qualifiers for the BSPS championships, Royal International Horse Show (RIHS) and Horse of the Year Show (HOYS).
