KIRKCALDY PARK DERBY DAY - RULES OF COMPETITION
Course will be open for walking approximately 2 hours before commencement of first class. Course may be walked throughout the duration of the competition but extreme care must be taken when riders are on course. The Course will be a mixture of Show jumps and Cross Country fences to be ridden as a single timed run; 6-8 show jumps dispersed through the cross country course with 8-12 cross country jumps. Show jumping course will remain basically the same for all classes, just raised in height.
Timing will commence and end at Start and Finish flags.
Refusals of xc or show jumps will not attract penalties, only add to the time taken. However if your horse stops at a show jump and dislodges a rail or any other part of the jump, DO NOT re-attempt that jump – continue on, penalties for a rail will be added to your time. A rail down in show jumping counts as 10 time penalties (ie 10 seconds added to time).
Riders must move on to the next jump after 3 refusals at one jump. Penalty will be the extra time taken to re-present each time.
Missing a jump, or jumping a jump in the wrong order will result in elimination. However rider may continue on and complete course.
Missing start, finish, or any compulsory flags will result in elimination.
Outside assistance will result in elimination.
Fall of horse and/or rider will result in elimination.
Failure to obey direction by an official may result in elimination.
Placings will be determined by the completion of the course in CLOSEST TO OPTIMUM time. WATCHES NOT ALLOWED.
There will not be individual jump judges on cross country, but the whole course will be monitored by officials who may stop a rider if they think they are riding unsafely or travelling too fast.
Dress is cross country attire. Body protectors compulsory for all riders and body number holders will be required. Helmets and Body Protectors must comply with current EA standards. Watches may NOT be worn. All riders must be current financial members of ESA (riding at their qualified level) or PCASA (with a card for the horse entered, riding at the combination’s graded level or one higher) or if you are neither EA or PC member you can become a SFPHT member for the day for $10.00 (contact Karin re the SFPHT day membership)
