III. Types of Faults The obstacle is meant to be passed, if the head and neck of the horse and the head of the athlete when mounted pass between the extremities of the element or obstacle as flagged (or where the flags have been before hit) Philine Ganders-Meyer - January 2012 17
III. Types of Faults Refusal: only in connection with passing an obstacle (fence is approached) obstacles composed of several elements: every crossing of the line is a fault, except when black flagged and including last element in a circle (difference between e.g. 11a/b and 11/12) Philine Ganders-Meyer - January 2012 18
III. Types of Faults Refusals and Run-Outs - Stopping in front of the fence -Jumping from a standstill (only allowed up to max. height of 30 cm, here only permanent standstill or stepping backwards is a refusal) - Run-Out (rider changing mind without having negotiated the fence is no refusal) - Circle, crossing the line after having negotiated the fence (Not after a refusal for second presentation at the fence) Philine Ganders-Meyer - January 2012 19
