Rider Age Groups

A rider's age will be based on F.E.I. ruling which is the age the rider becomes in a given year. The calendar age is taken from the beginning of a calendar year that a rider's age is reached until the end of a calendar year that a rider's age is reached.

For example; a rider who is 15 years may apply for the 16 - 18 year old category if they have their 16th birthday in 2011. This ruling then applies to all age groups.
