West Mercian Area Championships

2025/2026

Scoring for all awards that are points-based will be based on 10 points for a win, 7 points for 2nd, and 3 points for 3rd (no points will be awarded for walkovers).

All races run within the West Mercian Area count towards the Area Championships.

Horses with a Hunter Certificate registered as qualified with a Hunt affiliated to the West Mercian Area are eligible for the awards, along with horses trained by keepers based in the country of a Hunt affiliated to the West Mercian Area.

Owners must compete with each horse individually and cannot aggregate points scored by other horses in their ownership.

Jockeys must be riding with a West Mercian Area Riders Qualification Certificate to be eligible for the Championships.

In the event of a dead-heat, both horses will score the points allocated to the position of the dead-heat.

Where a Championship is tied on points, the number of wins will determine the winner of the Championship.
