The 3* league recognises talented horses making their way up the rankings with British riders. 

Following the update to FEI classification code from 1 January 2019, the league was renamed to the 3* League, having formerly been known as the 2* League.

Eligibility

Open to British riders with a horse qualified to compete at 3* level who fulfil the specific criteria below:

Using the BE Points system, eligible points are won at CCI3*-S and CCI3*-L level. Championship classes are not included.
