What does the BES mean?? They have these classes at Blenheim.
BES just stands for Blenheim Equisports. According to the prize list, it’s just an unrated 3’ hunter division for A/Os.
3’ BES AMATEUR-OWNER HUNTER
Open to all Amateur Riders; horses must be owned by the Rider; Leases are not allowed; Neither horses nor riders may compete in the “C” Rated Adult Amateur Hunter Division nor the “A” Rated 3’3” and/or the 3’6” Amateur Owner Hunter Divisions at the same show. Not USEF nor USHJA sanctioned. Classes may be individually entered.
Fence Height: 3’; Entry Fee: $225/division or $55/class
^Exactly. Generally softer competition than AA’s. Sometimes runs on the same days as the AA’s; occasionally runs Sa-Su when AA’s run F-Sa.
I figure it is worth laughing at this (me, not your post).
I read this and said over and over again in my head - what does Sa-Su mean? Saying Sa-Su trying to figure it out. It was way longer than it should have been for me to get that you were using abbreviations for Saturday - Sunday versus Friday - Saturday.

Sorry. Years of academic calendars with abbreviated days of the week. In the early days the computers could handle only one letter, so Thursday became H.
Not R?

Yes, R is what I always knew it as when one letter was used.
Though I suppose anything is easy enough to figure out if you know you are talking the days of the week.

H in this case.
