3 JUMPING CHAMPIONSHIPS Format The championships will consist of classes for all four grades. Riders may take part in three competitions, Jumping Equitation (JE), a Two Round Show Jumping Competition (SJ). Competitors do not have to take part in all competitions. They may ride two horses maximum, but only one of these may be in grade 3, however they may ride two horses in either Grades 1 or 2. If both are in the same grade they must declare which is their team horse. JE will take place before the SJ class so it can be used as a warm-up. The team competition will be conducted over the Two Round Show Jumping competition only. The jumping order of a club's members will be as named on the entry form. The order of competing clubs will be drawn and all of a club's members within their grade will ride in consecutive order. No competitor shall be expected to do their SJ round within 10 minutes of finishing their JE round. Jumping Equitation Championship (Best Rider and Horse Technique over a Show Jump Course) To be judged by two judges using JE scoresheet form To be conducted over one round of a course of 8-10 fences, including a double (9-11 efforts). There is no set speed but most of the course should be ridden at a good canter pace depending on the horse. Show Jumping Championship To be judged under Table A over two rounds, not against the clock with a time allowed for the first round and against the clock for the second round. The course for the second round may be identical or different and increased in size at the discretion of the CD, judge and TD. Speed 325 mpm. Competitors are placed by adding the penalties for the two rounds. In the case of equality of the added penalties for first place, a jump-off against the clock will be held over a shortened course of obstacles which may be increased in height and/or spread. Lower places are classified by total penalties and the time taken in the second round in the case of equality. Maximum fence sizes. A tolerance of 5cms in height is acceptable if dictated by the terrain or the spacing of the cups. Maximum fence sizes JE competition For the first round of SJ competition Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Height Width At base At top (all measurements in centimetres) Jump-offs The first jump-off MAY go up by 10, but preferably 7.5 cm.

Not all fences have to be raised in either the second round or the jump-off, and should not be if there are no or only a very few clear rounds. More than one course walk may be scheduled if necessary, e.g. between second and third group of riders. Qualifications Both horse and rider must have completed at least two Show Jumping rounds at recognised shows, gymkhanas or PC competitions over a course of their equivalent grade heights as above. Only one of these may be obtained at an ODE. Scoring of Team Championship Competitors to be placed from first to last in grades 1, 2 and 3 show jumping only. The number of their placing is scored as points. The winning club will be that whose total points from their best rider in each grade is the lowest. In the case of a tie, the jumping penalties (excluding any incurred in a jump-off) of those riders will be added together, and if still equal the winning team is the one whose lowest placed member has the better score.
