FANCY DRESS SAFETY RULES

Christmas attire is very much encouraged, however, as everyone is jumping, we need to also make sure everyone is safe.  As a minimum, pony club tagged hats and proper riding boots are compulsory.  For safety reasons, you can’t jump with any props in your hand/attached to your pony (i.e. any rugs/loose flapping items on your pony).  Please also ensure you have nothing tied around the rider’s neck (i.e. no capes tied around the neck).  If any member of the Committee feel that something is unsafe, they will ask you to remove it/change before jumping.  Helpers are very welcome to enter into the Christmas spirit too and also come dressed up!

LIKE FOR LIKE – ridden over two rounds, combination with the closest matching time between their 2 rounds and least faults wins.

A7 (TABLE A7) – first round not against the clock, all clears go through to a “jump-off” over a shortened course where the fastest combination with the least faults wins.

ACCUMULATOR – points are awarded for each jump that is jumped clear, with the points increasing for each jump.  The winner is the competitor that scores the most points in the fastest time.

ACCUMULATOR WITH JOKER – as for the accumulator, but the last fence will have a ‘joker’ option, which can be up to 10cm higher than the rest of the fences, the joker scores extra points and also loses points if knocked down.

TWO-PHASE – first round and jump-off combined, combination jumps round one and if they are clear they go straight into the timed jump-off against the clock without interruption or halting in between rounds.

PAIRS BATON RELAY – the first competitor jumps half the course, must hand over their baton for the next competitor to start and complete the course. The pair that complete the course the fastest will be the winners.  It is £3 per competitor. If you don’t have a pair you can enter and we will find you one.

BAREBACK JUMPING – Neck strap and body protectors must be worn. Entries accepted at the discretion of the Committee. The class will be run as an accumulator.
