Important Reminders
Number of Entries A horse may participate only once in each category within a given event or discipline. Day 1 & Day 3: maximum two (2) entries per horse per day. Day 2: up to three (3) entries per horse — 2 Dressage & 1 Show Jumping, or 2 Show Jumping & 1 Dressage — plus one (1) additional Hacks entry is permitted on the horse.
Hacks will be held as an HPRC Show, not a State-level Competition.
Hacks classes are open ONLY to riders who are not participating in any other event or discipline.
40 cms and 60 cms classes are conducted in the Table A Against the Clock, Without Jump-Off (FEI Art. 238.2.1) format.
Show Jumping is split between the Telangana State Equestrian Championship (60 cms U-12; 80-90 cms U-12 & U-14; 100-105 cms U-18 & Open; 110-115 cms Open) and the HPRC Show (40 cms U-12 & Open; 60 cms Open; 80-90 cms Open).
Only riders aged 10 years and older are permitted to participate in heights of 100 cms and above.
Heights of 80 cms and above: clear rounds stay in the arena for an immediate jump-off. If more than 30 entries are received in any class, that class will instead be conducted in the Table A Against the Clock, Without Jump-Off format.
The age and Open categories at the same height run concurrently — riders entering both jump a single round, scored in both categories.
Teams must collect their assigned HPRC Horse ID tags upon arrival. This tag must be visibly displayed on the horse throughout the event and returned prior to the issuance of the Clearance Certificate. Unreturned or lost tags will incur a replacement fee.
Appropriate EFI dress code must be followed for all events. Non-compliance may result in disqualification.
Negative Coggins (Equine Infectious Anaemia) and Glanders test certificates (CFT or Mallein) — valid for a minimum of 15 days prior to arrival — are mandatory for all horses. Entry will be strictly denied without them.
Appeals / objections: a deposit of ₹2,000 must be lodged with the Show Secretary; it is refunded if the appeal is upheld.
