British Eventing South West Rankings 2017

What are the Rankings?

The British Eventing South West Rankings were launched in 2015 as an initiative for the region to:

reward consistently good performance at BE80(T), BE90 and BE100
raise the profile of participating Horse Trials
encourage competitors to enter BE events

Eligibility

These Rankings are open to all riders and all horses who compete at the events listed in our Calendar, except those who are HC. Rankings Points cannot be transferred between the three rankings, so it is possible that a combination could appear in all three Rankings over the year. Rankings Points are based on the combination of Horse and Rider, so a rider could appear several times in the same Rankings if they have several horses competing in the year. The Four Year Old and Five Year classes are excluded from the Rankings.

Ranking Points

There are separate rankings at BE100, BE90 and BE80(T) levels. Points cannot be transferred between rankings. Points are awarded to combinations who complete in any of the following classes:

Points are awarded to all competitors who finish in the top 25% of the section and are based on the number of dressage starters in the section (excluding HC). If there were 30 starters then the winner gets 30 points, second place gets 29 points etc down to 7th place getting 24 points. 8th place is outside the top 25% and gets no Ranking Points.

The three rankings are based on the combination of horse and rider. If a horse gains Ranking Points with two different riders in the season then it will appear in both Rankings. Points cannot be transferred between horses or between riders.

Terms and Conditions

Each prize winner will be given cards to be used for one specific event as stated on the card.

John Colson Training Bursaries

Lt. Col John Colson was the organiser of the popular event Longleat Horse Trials (which moved to Nunney in 2012) and had been working with the event since 1995. He took over as the organiser in 1998 and also went on to become the organiser of Nutwell Court in 2007 until his death in 2013.

John and his wife Jessica have been involved in the sport of Eventing since childhood and John was engaged in the sport in many ways including his role as a Controller, Course builder at Tidworth Horse Trials and Horse Trials Support Group member. John's passion for Eventing and Hunting developed during his time with The Kings Troop and he went on to organise the Army Horse Trials one day event at Sandhurst with Captain Mark Phillips in 1977.

The John Colson Training Bursaries are presented by the Nutwell Court Committee to the highest placed Junior rider and the highest placed Senior rider in each of the three Rankings. The exact details are on the Prizes page.
