National Pony Measuring
Following changes brought in around how ponies are measured for International competitions it has been agreed that British Showjumping would operate a National Pony Measuring system which closely replicates that of the FEI.
Dates and Venues where measuring sessions will be taking place are detailed above and ponies will be able to be presented either with or without shoes. Any dates marked TBC are waiting for vet confirmations and will be updated shortly.
The cost of measuring is £125 and bookings can be made via Horse Monkey. Any stabling bookings must be made directly with the venue.
The National Pony Measuring requirements:
- British Showjumping will accept a valid JMB height certificate (annual and life height) that was booked prior to 17.00hrs on 5th January 2024.
- FEI height certificates will be accepted for ponies registered in the 148cm category.
- Ponies in the 128 or 138cm category who have obtained an FEI height certificate must present and obtain a British Showjumping height certificate by 31st May 2026 (there will be no charge levied for this measurement).
- Ponies must be presented for measuring in a fit to compete condition with hooves trimmed or well shod.
- If a Pony measures in and is 8 years old or older it will receive a Lifetime Measuring Certificate. If a Pony measures in and is under 8 years old it will receive an Interim Measuring Certificate, which is valid for 15 months.
- If presenting with front shoes then they must be a minimum of 5mm at both heels, either side of the toe clip or mid-point of the front of the shoe.
- The maximum heights accepted for 128/138 ponies measuring without shoes will be 128cm or 138cm.
- The maximum heights accepted for 128/138 ponies measuring with shoes will be 128.9cm or 138.9cm.
- British Showjumping 148cm measures will align with FEI measures – a maximum of 148.9cm without shoes and a maximum of 149.9cm with shoes.
- British Showjumping measures will have two vets present, each of whom will measure the pony with the lowest agreed height being the height recorded.
- Any pony registered with British Showjumping can be presented for measurement but all ponies who reach 300 points will be required to obtain a valid height certificate within 12 months of reaching 300 points.
- From 1st October 2025 all ponies competing at the below Championships must have a valid height certificate before entering. These include British Showjumping National Championships, Royal International Horse Show, Horse of the Year Show, Blue Chip, Scope, Home Pony specific competitions, Royal Highland, Pony of the Year specific classes. The London International Horse Show, Bolesworth (For the above Championships British Showjumping may stipulate specific classes that Rule 45.7 applies to. These classes will be identified on the British Showjumping schedule).
- British Showjumping will allow one re measurement. Any re measurement request must be received within 28 days of the initial measurement and the pony must be presented for re measurement within 6 months of the initial measurement date.
- If a re measurement cannot take place at another scheduled measuring session a date for re measurement will be agreed at the British Showjumping National Training Centre and will incur a cost of £1,000 per pony
