Welcome to the third weekly newsletter of the Finnish Hobbyhorse Championships!
The goal of the newsletter is to gather all the important announcements from the previous week into one place! This way we can make sure that our announcements aren’t lost in the waves of social media algorithms.
This week we have announced the results of the first registration, qualifying competitions and updated western riding rules!
The results of the first registration!
The results of the first registration are now out! 🤩 The first registration included open show jumping classes, children’s joy 50cm and highjumping. 🌸
– Participants who received a place in a class have been contacted via email, and the invoices will be sent via email within a few days. The invoices are sent to the guardian’s email if one has been provided. 📧
– If you haven’t received a message or an invoice by 7.2. contact us, please check your spam/junk mail folders first. 🚨

SKHH ry western riding rules
Did you notice that there is a new version of the SKHH ry western riding rules that came into effect 1.2.? 🤠 Here’s a summary of the most notable changes:
– From now on, all western classes (excl. speed events) are divided into Amateur and Open divisions, which fundamentally affects competing. The evaluation of the Amateur classes is looser in comparison to the previous rule version, Open classes on the other hand have stricter evaluation. Do note that all classes at the Finnish Championships this June will be in the Open division❗️
– The course of the Horsemanship class and its reasons for disqualification have been further specified.
– The evaluation of Trail has been clarified.
– The scoring of All-around disciplines has been clarified.
– Misuse of competitor numbers has been added as a reason for disqualification.
– The english version of the rules has been retranslated in its entirety.
– Pole bending was added as an official discipline. 🤩
Please go over the rules with care before your next competition. 🔎 The newest version of the rules is found at skhhry.fi/en/materials/.
