Competitions insurance

It's great to see that you're interested in running a competition, we would love more competitions to be happening across the UK every year!

We hope that this form acts as a useful checklist for you when it comes to organising a safe and successful event.

For any questions please contact the BHAA and put "FAO Becca Sweetman" in the subject.

BHAA membership *

I confirm that the competition organiser (the person requesting this insurance) is a member of the BHAA

Age *

I confirm that the competition organiser is over the age of 18

Qualification *

I confirm that the organiser is either a BHAA Coach or at least a level 1 judge

Risk assessment *

I confirm that the risk assessment will be completed by a qualified Coach.

Judge *

I confirm that the Judge will have their IHAA level 1 or higher qualification and be over the age of 18

RSO *

I confirm that a qualified RSO will be in charge of range safety

The minimum qualification requirements are as follows, this is the same for walk / trot / canter classes:

  • Club: Raid, T60, Aussie, Polish Prelim, simple arena tracks [i.e. short distance front, back, side shots]
  • Intermediate: Club tracks + T90 & T110, Mamluk, Skirmish, Polish Prelim+, all arena tracks
  • Advanced: Intermediate tracks + Hunt tracks (need jumping module for Hunt tracks with jumps)
Exemptions can only be provided by contacting the BHAA and explaining the extenuating circumstances e.g.
  • Dimitri’s students who only train on the Kassai track and so cannot get an S grade for Intermediate
  • International horseback archer visiting the UK
  •  

Competitor qualifications *

I understand that competitors need to have the minimum level of BHAA qualification and that as an organiser we will both request and check this information

Competitor disclaimer *

The application form will include a participant disclaimer

Horse suitability *

On the application form we will ask for the horse's name and for confirmation that the horse is safe to use for horseback archery.

I understand that if I'm running a Hunt track then I cannot include any jumps *

Note: in the future as riders & horses in the UK gain more Hunt experience we will consider lifting this limitation

The Events Insurance costs £112/event.

If all competitors at your event are BHAA members then the BHAA will cover this cost.

If you want to invite non-BHAA members then you will need to cover the £112 cost for the insurance.

Cost *

Confirmation: I understand that I need to wait to hear from Becca Sweetman to confirm that my event it covered. *
