Everyone is welcome to enter first rounds, provided you and your horse/pony are eligible for the chosen class. All competitors in first rounds should complete a Trailblazers registration form, available online or at the equestrian centre. Membership is not compulsory, but it is free.
Once a centre has run its 2nd round any first rounds run after that are qualifiers for the next series of Trailblazers
Second rounds

If you choose to take up the qualification, you should fill in and return the letter along with £12 and two A5 stamped addressed envelopes to your qualifing centre. One envelope will be used to return your qualification card (as proof of qualification when entering second rounds) and the other will be used by the centre to forward details of their second round.
