Flo Carter and Abel Star were the Agria Lifetime Equine BE100 League winners in 2023
The Agria Lifetime Equine BE100 League will be expanded in 2024 with eighteen British Eventing events now taking part, expanding it from solely BEDE Events’ fixtures.
Point accumulations will count towards major prizes at the end of the year, when the League culminates in a grand finale for those qualified at the CCI1* class at the Osberton International Horse & Driving Trials from 2nd – 6th October.
The Agria Lifetime Equine BE100 League is open to registered members of British Eventing who haven’t competed at Intermediate or above in the previous five years. In a change for the 2024 season, the league will also be limited to those competing two horses or fewer in the 2024 season, with the aim of giving amateur riders the chance to compete on a level playing field at top class events.
A horse and rider combination may accrue points in any BE100 division across the qualification events and the finale at Osberton (GO BE classes will not count towards point allocations).
Participating Events
Pre-registration is required to join the league, and you should register before the start of the season as points cannot be retroactively collected. Full details for the league and registration forms can be found on the BEDE Events website

How It Works
One point will be awarded for starting, one point will be awarded upon completion, two points for jumping clear in the showjumping phase and two points for jumping clear (without time penalties) in the cross-country phase.
Those who meet the MER (Minimum Eligibility Requirements) three times may enter the CCI1* at Osberton, where triple points will be on offer; 6 points for showjumping clear, 6 points for clear cross-country (without time penalties), 3 points for completion and 3 points for starting.
In addition, points will be awarded for placings: 15 points to the winner, 14 points to the runner up, and so on, with 15th place receiving one point.
In another new development for 2024, Osberton International (2) will feature Pro/Am sections, with professionals and amateurs contesting separate sections (should entries allow), to allow for the fairest competition possible, and to compliment the ethos of the Agria BE100 League.
The league prize-giving will be held alongside the CCI1* prize-giving in the main arena, with all prize winners required to be in attendance.
Cash prize and goodies
Agria will be enhancing the prize pot for these events with
• £1500 cash prize pot for the league, including £700 to the winner
• Agria goodies for the top three
• Agria sponsorship package for the year, including branded kit, photoshoot and lesson with one of Agria’s sponsored riders to the winner
Vicki Wentworth, MD of Agria UK and herself an eventing rider, says that “Agria is delighted to support this series which recognises the dedication and talent of the one- or two-horse amateur rider.
We well know how much work, investment, and fun, goes into riding at a good standard and it’s this sort of partnership that Agria supports with our Lifetime Equine policy that allows veterinary conditions and ailments to be covered year after year, giving your horse the very best care possible. Best of luck to all those competing in the 2024 Agria Lifetime Equine BE100 League.”
