A BRITISH Horse Society Cross Country qualifier is taking place at Home Farm in Dulas, Ewyas Harold this Sunday.

Aimed at the everyday rider, the competition boasts three classes and will be ideal for people of all ages and abilities.

The Dodson and Horrell Novice is aimed for novice, nervous horses, ponies or riders, the Aerborn Pairs is good for those wanting to ride cross country with a friend, while the Kawasaki Open would be suitable for riders with more experience or bravery.

The top four riders in each class will qualify for the Championship Final at Richmond on September 7 and 8.
