The Competition

Phase One: Riding
A simple riding test with points given for each movement. All competitors must complete this section. All Movements must be attempted and are marked out of 5, judged on how well the movement was performed by the rider.

Phase Two:
Either Jumping; A minimum of 16 poles and 12 stands will be needed to build the standardised course. Competitors choose 3 out of 4 obstacles (4 out of 5 obstacles for 11 and over) and are marked according to the severity of the obstacle. Each fence may only be jumped once.
Or Gymkhana; Proprietors may choose 3 out of the list of games or may add their own games if they wish. Games may vary at each competition. Competitors are timed individually and the winners to be determined by a points system out of 10 (for example 1st =10 Marks, 2nd =9 Marks, 3rd= 8 Marks etc). Ponies may be led to the end of the obstacles by an assistant in the stepping stone game.

Frequency
