Lexington, KY – September 15, 2022 – With the Hamel Foundation NHS 3’3” Equitation Championship fast approaching, we would like to remind qualified riders of the cross-entry policy.
The Hamel Foundation NHS 3’3” Equitation Championships are open only to junior members of the USEF or Equine Canada who have not reached their 18th birthday in accordance with GR127 and who have never competed in any of the following National Equitation Finals with fences at 3’6”: ASPCA Maclay Finals, US Medal Finals, USEF Talent Search (East or West), WIHS Equitation Classic Finals, Jump Canada Medal Finals or the North American Equitation Championship. Riders may not show in both the Hamel Foundation National Horse Show 3’3” Equitation Championship and the ASPCA Maclay Finals in the same competition year. Previous winners of the Hamel Foundation National Horse Show 3’3” Equitation Championship are ineligible to compete in any Hamel Foundation NHS Medal Class or the Finals.
Please be aware if you show in any of the equitation finals at 3’6” or higher this year in 2022 or any year prior, that will disqualify you from competing in the Hamel Foundation NHS 3’3” Equitation Championships.
