The Championships are open to both Senior and Junior teams of four, with the best three scores in count. The Seniors will compete on the Saturday and Juniors on the Sunday.
To get to the final, Riding Club teams will have qualified at winter area competitions up and down the country. A massive 43 teams will make up the Senior day, with 23 teams contesting the Novice Indoor Show Jumping, and 20 competing in the Winter Dressage.
On Sunday 47 teams will make up the Junior day, with 30 teams contesting the Novice Indoor Show Jumping, and 17 competing in the Winter Dressage.
