For Winter qualifiers and onwards, BRC has introduced a ‘competition pass’ which takes the place of Pre-Entries. To compete and qualify for BRC championships, all entrants must have a valid club membership AND a valid competition pass, which can be purchased via the BRC Sport80 portal. Any member competing at a qualifier without both club membership and a competition pass will be disqualified. The competition passes are £30 plus transaction fee (for riders with 1-2 horses) and £45 plus transaction fee (for riders with 3 or more horses) for a rolling 12 months. Horses do not need to be registered. For full FAQs and a guide on how to purchase your pass, click here.
Please note that ALL horses competing must be microchipped. They must also have had their annual flu vaccination, but NOT within the 7 days before the event. You will also be required to present your passports on arrival at Solihull.
