According to Horse and Hound, British Eventing is looking to introduce a level of competition below Intro.

The class, which is being called "training" level, will have an intro dressage test, but with reduced height fences (80cm) for both the cross-country and show jumping. (Not to be confused with the US Training level, the UK Training level experiment is at heights a bit smaller than US Beginner Novice).

The intention is to test the popularity of the class at four events this summer -- Mattingley, Pulborough, plus possibly Highclere, with another venue still to be confirmed.

Apparently the plan is to test the new level and what interest there is. BE has built sixteen portable fences and these will be taken to events and integrated into their existing courses during the test.
