This competition is for
young riders aged 12 to 18
in separate age groups. The
age of the rider is taken
from January 1 each year.
Riders are expected to show
a horse in hand, demonstrate
their riding ability, and
jump a course of
approximately eight fences
of
75cm for all classes.
The jumping phase is judged
solely on the rider's riding
style taking in their
approach, balance, ability
to correct and place the
horse, the rider's hands and
seat.
After the three phases are
completed, the scores of
each rider will be totaled
and the top six in each
group will ride in a
dressage test to select the
final place getters in each
group.
A top ten overall will also
be awarded.
Riders do NOT need a high
quality horse to compete in
this event, and do not need
to wear formal riding
attire. |
