Competition Format (how the class will be judged and including rules on tack etc) |
|
The aim of this Championships is to encourage the breeding and correct training of young horses for eventing.
Judging Approach
The judge will be looking for potential for the future in the young horses rather than how well they are presented. The judge will look for an athletic, loose moving small horse with a promising jumping technique that given the correct training should develop physically and mentally into a capable eventer.
Dressage In the dressage phase, although the riders are asked to perform a specific test (BE92 for 4 & 5 year olds; BE 110 for 6 year olds), the judge will not be giving marks for the individual movements but will be looking for correct, elastic and regular paces with a swinging back. The horse’s potential to perform a good dressage test in the future and trainability are key. Horses should be presented in a snaffle bit (as per the BE permitted snaffle bits list) for the dressage.
Jumping The horses will be asked to jump a short course of show jumps followed by some cross country style (rustic) jumps. The judge will be looking for a bold and athletic small horse with good technique and a horse with these qualities will not necessarily be penalised for knocking one fence down (or for a 4 year old having one refusal) provided that the horse learns from the mistake. However, knocking down more than one fence will reduce the horse’s score and 3 refusals will mean elimination. It is acceptable for 4 year old horses to jump from trot. The maximum fence height will be 80cm for 4 year old horses, 90cm for 5 year old horses, 1m for 6 year old horses and 1.10m for 7 year old horses and the first few fences will be lower.
Class Results The jumping and dressage scores will be added together to give an overall score and the results of the age sections will be determined on this overall score. If two or more horses score equal marks, the horse with the higher temperament score will take the higher placing.
Championship The two horses with the highest score from each of the 3 age related classes will come forward for the Championships. In the Championships, the judge will assess the horses for star quality, suitability and potential to make a successful eventer. As part of this, the judge may require the horses to show extended canter and/or gallop. The judge will also take into account those marks already allocated and select the Overall Champion and Reserve Champion.
How the competition will run
All horses will perform their dressage tests at a time allocated in advance (see link from top of this page from 6pm on Thursday 25th October). Tests may be "called" if desired. Once all the dressage tests have been completed, the horses will come forward in the same order for the jumping phase. Tack may be changed between the dressage and the jumping phases but must comply with the BE Members Handbook 2012 Annex 5. Competitors dress should be in accordance with the BE Members Handbook 2012 Annex 6 (rules for BE80, BE90, BE100) and Protective Headwear must be worn at all times while mounted (but does not have to have a BE or other "hat tag").
