HKEF Senior Inter-school Equestrian Challenge 2019
The HKEF Senior Inter-school Equestrian Challenge 2019 is based around the BREC1 Eventing and Horse of the Year (HOY) Eventing competitions (i.e. riders must compete in dressage, showjumping and cross-country). This is a competition for accomplished riders aged 14-18. Representing their schools, they will be competing as individuals for a HK$10,000 top prize.
Qualifying
Riders should be aged 14-18 years (as on 1st January, 2019), attending school and riding regularly in Hong Kong.

A rider’s best result achieved in any of the scheduled BREC eventing competitions (i.e. between September 29 and March 16) will contribute to their overall score in the HKEF Senior Inter-school Equestrian Challenge 2019 (see below).
