1. Overview

You record your own points on the card that can be downloaded below or collected from any 1B show. Plus 3 additional affiliated to the BSPS shows.

Please complete 1 card for each pony/class i.e., if you compete in both nursery and cradle stakes on the same pony you need to keep 2 cards. Also, if you do Open and Novice classes again you need to keep separate cards.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE DOING ANY LIHS PERFORMANCE CLASSES THEN YOU NEED TO KEEP A SEPARATE CARD FOR EACH CLASS YOU DO
