This is both an individual and a team competition. Qualification will be by order of when entry is received. Entry period will open on Show Management System (SMS) January 1, 2025 and end September 16, 2025. Chosen first will be all NEHC Champions (Junior or Adult) prior to 2025. Chosen second will be Reserve Champions (prior to 2025). Chosen third will be Horsemanship winners (prior to 2025). Approximately the first fifty entries received will be the qualified riders with a waiting list of the balance in order of receipt. Each team will consist of two riders (chosen by the riders), with no more than one professional per team. Eight to ten fences, not to exceed 3’, one round with two tests (USEF 1-20) included in first round. Further testing is at the discretion of the judges.

All ties except for first place will be broken by highest individual score. If still tied, the Senior pair of judges will break the tie.

Top three teams will declare their charity to donate to. Ten ribbons awarded to teams. Trophy and ten ribbons awarded to individuals.
