Welsh Championships
History
Until 2005, the Welsh Novice Championships was a two-day competition made up of dressage, showjumping, roads and tracks, steeplechase, and a 23-fence cross-country phase. The competition was restricted to Grade 3 horses that have either been placed in the first 6 at any Novice One or Two Day Horse Trials in Wales in the previous year.

2008
The Welsh Championship will be run as a One Day Event at Intermediate Novice level at Chepstow <see programme> as per British Eventing Rule Book.

The competition will now culminate with the XC run in Reverse Order of Merit
