All qualifying shows should use the form below to apply to run a qualifier.
The only classes you need to qualify for at NIF are 401-415.
The fifteen qualifying classes (401-415) are detailed on our NIF working hunter criteria page. Qualifying shows are free to choose which classes they wish to run. NIF is a Championship Show so qualifier courses and fences should be made challenging and at the correct height. Competitors are advised that the final will have fences set close to or at the maximum heights detailed.
In order to verify entries, the Qualifying Show must email the show results within 7 days of it taking place. If we do not receive the results, the show will not be classed as a qualifier. Once the qualifier has taken place, it’s status will be listed below (‘awaiting results’ or ‘results verified’). No shows other than those listed below will be regarded as a qualifier.
The first four in each qualifying class will qualify for entry to the final. In order to enter for the final, the competitor must enter online within 7 days of qualifying. Qualifying places do not pass down.
