Notes
Hunter Chasers2
1 Due to changes in the way that Dual-Purpose horses are classified
from February 2009 onwards, the figures for Flat-Only, Jump-Only and
2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
Dual-Purpose horses may not be comparable with previous years.
TOTAL 617 606 574 629 588 2 The figure for Hunter Chasers is the highest point reached during
the year, typically in May or June, whereas all other figures are an
average of the 12 monthly figures for each year.
