Second round competitions are beginning at many of the Trailblazers venues, giving riders the opportunity to take their final step to gain their qualification to the Championship Finals. Riders that qualify at an SEIB Trailblazers first round competition are eligible to progress to second rounds.

The second rounds run at Trailblazers venues around the country from March through to the end of May 2016.

Trailblazers competitions include show jumping, dressage, showing, working hunter and combined training and there are classes for both senior and junior riders.
