7 2018 USEF JUNIOR HUNTER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP & USHJA HUNTERDON CUP EQUITATION CLASSIC - EAST COAST SPECIFICATIONS - Junior Hunters PURPOSE: This competition is designed to encourage and promote the basic training and development of Junior Hunters. SECTIONS: The competition is divided into Eight sections: Small and Large Junior Hunters 3 6 for riders 15 & Under and riders 16-17; and Small and Large Junior Hunters 3 3 for riders 15 & Under and riders ELIGIBILITY: A horse must win a Championship or Reserve Championship in an "A" Rated Junior Hunter Division at a competition with a start date between June 1 and May 31 of the qualifying year, and/or be in the Top 10 in their zone in any of the 3 3 or 3 6 Junior Hunter sections as of Competitions with a start date of May 31, The horse must be recorded with the Federation and registered with USHJA at the time of the win for the Championship or Reserve Championship to count. Horses that are champion at the previous year's competition may return without qualifying. The owner of record of the horse must be a member in good standing of the Federation, i.e.; horses must be shown in accordance with GR1102 and GR1108 in order to be eligible to qualify and compete. An East Coast Championship and a West Coast Championship are offered. Qualified horses may compete in either Championship but must declare which one they will be competing in since they may only compete in one in any year. PHASES: The competition will be conducted in three separate phases. Under Saddle: To count 20%. To be shown at a walk, trot, and canter both ways of the Ring. Horses are to hand gallop one direction, halt and back. Light contact with the horse's mouth is required. Judged on performance and soundness. Manners and suitability shall be emphasized. Handy Hunter: To count 40%. Obstacles should simulate those found in trappy hunt country. The course must have at least two changes of direction and at least one combination. Horses are required to trot over one fence on the course, and may be asked to lead over one obstacle or open a gate while mounted. Emphasis shall be placed on handiness for this round. Classic Round: To count 40%. The course must maintain at least ten obstacles, have two changes of direction and have at least one combination. There shall be one single oxer on the course to be ridden at the gallop. Emphasis shall be placed on "brilliance" for this class. SCORING Under Saddle Phase: Horses shall be judged in groups of twelve or less. Each horse shall be judged and given a score based on its performance in the group. Handy Hunter and Classic Round: Each entry will be given a numerical score based on its performance. In all phases over fences, two cumulative refusals will result in elimination. Note: If a horse/rider combination does not complete a phase or is eliminated from that phase, that horse will receive a score of 0 for that phase but may continue on to compete in the remaining phases of the competition. A horse with a total score of 0 for a phase is not eligible for an award for that phase but is eligible for an overall award. CROSS ENTRY: The same junior exhibitor is required to show an entry in all phases of the competition. The same junior exhibitor may show one small and one large entry in either the 3 6 or 3 3 Section. Riders may not cross enter between the 3 6 and 3 3 Sections. Riders may cross enter into the USHJA Hunterdon Cup Equitation Classic if qualified. The Horse must show in the fence height section in which it qualified, i.e., if a horse is qualified in the 3 6 section, it must compete in the 3 6 section at the finals. If the horse is qualified in both the 3 3 and 3 6 sections, it may show in only one section at the finals, but may show in either section. The horse may compete in a different age group than the age group in which it qualified. JUDGING PROCEDURE: All three judges will judge each phase simultaneously but independently of each other. Each judge will give every entry a score for each phase. During the Over Fence phase, the Open Numerical Scoring System is used. After each entry completes the course, each judge's score for the round is immediately shown or announced. The total overall score for each entry is then calculated as soon as it has completed the last phase. TIES: Ties will be broken based on the score of the judge that is designated as judge number one for each phase of the competition. If a tie still exists for the overall standings, the score from the Classic Phase will break such tie. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: 1. Horses are required to be stabled on the competition grounds for a minimum of 12 hours before the start of the competition. 2. Commencing 12 hours prior to the start of the Championship and continuing until finished competing, only the competition rider may ride his/her entry.
