The Equestrian Team
Here are the levels at which the BC Intercollegiate Equestrian Team competes. These are the descriptions from the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. The information below has been modified slightly to make it easier to understand. If you compete over fences in either Novice, Intermediate, or Open then that is the section you compete in both over fences and on th flat. At BC you must point out of both the flat class and over fences class to move up a level. For example, to point out of Novice and move into Intermediate, you must accumulate 35 points on the flat and 35 points over fences.
Point System
1st Place: 7 points
2nd Place: 5 points
3rd Place: 4 points
4th Place: 3 points
5th Place: 2 points
6th Place: 1 point
