To be eligible for any awards the handler must be a member of an NFTA affiliated club, and any dogs entered must be registered on the Field Trial Record.

Please take note that due to the nature of HPR trials a decision was taken at the 2025 NFTA Annual general meeting that all participants in HPR field trials must be in possession of a valid provincial hunting license. Participants will also be required to sign an indemnity and be in possession of a permission to hunt from the landowner. Please ensure that you are in possession of a Free State Hunting Licence. The Indemnity and permission to hunt will be completed during registration.

Remember to ensure that you have a copy of your dog’s Rabies vaccination certificate with you when crossing provincial borders.
