SHOW JUMPING DRESSCODE AND RULES

Like within any equestrian discipline there are rules, dress codes and a course.

How Show Jumping and the judging works
The objective of Show Jumping is to clear a complete course of jumps in order, as fast as you can. These differ dependant on the type of class, but generally speaking these objectives applies to most classes. The jumps can be set either in a sand or grass Arena and consist on brightly coloured paced jumps.
You get fault points if you fail to clear the course successfully and these are as follows.
Each jump knocked down or refusal gives you 4 faults, if you get 2 refusals you are disqualified. A fall of horse or rider also counts as a disqualification. If a horse touches the water on a water jump (when applicable) it is also counted as 4 faults. If you jump the course in the wrong order or have to circle in front of a jump to regain control then this counts as a refusal and will also give you 4 faults.
