How to bribe your dressage judge This is a red nose dressage competition. Ribbons will be awarded twice for each test - tests will be scored in the usual manner and ribbons will be awarded to 5th place. Ribbons will also be awarded for the Red Nose Riders to 5th place. There are also generous prizes for the red nose section! Scoring for red nose riders works as follows: Wear a red nose during the test and receive an extra 5% for your score. Have your horse wear a red nose and receive an extra 5% added to your score (horses may wear noses on saddle blankets/tails). Judges will also be accepting bribes (donations to Sids and Kids) on the day if you are after further improvement to your final score. This will be added at judge s discretion after the final score is placed. Judges may award up to 10% more to your score for bribes. 3
Showjumping heights 1. Ground poles (to be scored on optimum time) 2. Cross rails (run under modified AM7/jump-off rules) 3. 45cm (Table C) 4. 60cm (Table C) 5. 75cm (Table C) 6. 90cm (Table C) Rescue relay A. Teams of 2. No obstacle higher than 45cm. B. Teams of 2. No obstacle higher than 75cm. Entries for the Rescue Relay will be taken on the day at $10/pair paid in correct change. All proceeds from the Rescue Relays will go to Sids and Kids. For this event there are two riders on the course at once. The first rider starts their round and continues until either they have a fault, they finish the round or the judge rings the bell. When the first rider has a knock down the second rider takes over the round starting with the jump after the jump knocked down. When the first rider has a refusal the second rider takes over the course at the jump refused (if it was knocked down during the refusal they must wait until it is put up again). If the first rider completes the round with no faults and the bell has not rung the second rider takes over from jump No I and continues on - finish flags do not apply. Swapping of riders when faults occur continues the same as above until the bell rings to finish the round. If the second rider is the one to finish the first round (i.e. the first rider had a fault) they continue on from the last jump to the first jump again. When the judge rings the bell your round is finished and you should jump the next jump in order. The winning pair is the one which gets furthest along the course. If there are equal placings the time taken from when the bell goes to when the horse takes off for the next jump is used to divide them. 4
