Style jumping , this can be entered as well as the show jumping
Style Jumping is for both senior and junior riders. It is open to teams of four riders and to individuals.
Each team consists of two riders jumping a 75cm course and two riders jumping an 85cm course. Individuals may choose .
Riders jump one round and are judged on the style of their riding.
Riders must salute the judge when entering the arena, and then canter a figure of eight until the signal to start is given; during this time, they will be judged for style on the flat.
When jumping, the rider is judged on how they ride the whole course, particular attention being
given to how they ride the turns and present the horse at a fence. The rider needs to show
balanced approaches to the fences and be able to maintain a good forward canter in a rhythm.
The position of the rider at take-off, in the air, on landing and in the following strides is assessed
along with the correct judgement of pace. It is assumed that the rider is aware of the correct
leading leg and is able to change it if needed (a flying change correctly and quietly done is also
acceptable as is a simple change through trot).
The course will have 8 to 12 obstacles, one of which should be a double. The course should
include a stile or narrow fence, with at least one dog leg. There should be no water jump. All
aspects of the course should comply with BS standards. The course should be measured
generously to encourage riders to ride forward, demonstrating the ability to ride positively in a
maintained balance and rhythm.

10: Excellent 9: Very Good 8: Good 7: Fairly Good 6: Satisfactory 5: Sufficient 4: Insufficient 3: Fairly Bad 2: Bad
