Thank you to Barastoc for being the Queensland Amateur Jumping Series sponsor for 2025. This year the winner of each round will receive a voucher for 6 bags of horse feed, 2nd place receives a voucher for 4 bags of horse feed and 3rd place receives a voucher for 2 bags of horse feed.
Our ongoing sponsor is Finch Farm, who are also sponsored by Barastoc, so a saddlecloth will also go to the winner of each round.
2025 Barastoc Amatuer Jumping Series Guidelines
-
If a rider has more than one horse in the class, the first horse they ride is their points scoring round.
-
Rider with the highest points from 6 rounds will be awarded the overall winner.
-
Class heights in the first round will be approx. 1.10m, heights will be stated on event schedules.
-
Participants must meet the criteria of the EA National Amateur Rules (see below Article 255.1)
-
The first 6 places in each competition will gain points.
-
To gain maximum points there must be a minimum of 10 riders in the class.
-
Points allocated 1st = 11 points, 2nd= 9 points, 3rd= 8 points, 4th =7 points, 5th =6 points, 6th =5 points
-
If less than 10 riders in the class, points will be allocated as per example: 6 riders is 11 minus 4 therefore:1st = 7, 2nd =5, 3rd=4 4th=3,5th =2, 6th=1 ; only 3 riders therefore 11 minus 7 1st= 4, 2nd=2, 3rd=1
-
If there is an equality of points at the end of the series the rider with the most consistent high placings throughout the series will become the series winner.
-
To be eligible to compete in the Amateur series, you must be a current financial member of Equestrian Queensland.
