The rule applies all the way down divisions, as long as the fence is over 1' in height (so bank downs, water crossings and ditches at any level would not count) and as long as the HT is following USEA rules.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-45324803647988085902015-05-06T11:56:33.441-04:002015-05-06T11:56:33.441-04:00Hmm...all of your doubts and worries about XC just...Hmm...all of your doubts and worries about XC just scream to me, "I NEED TO TRAIL RIDE ALL SUMMER WITH CARLA AND FOXHUNT ALL FALL."<br /><br />That might just be me though ;) <br /><br />Don't beat yourself up...it was still a good learning experience even if it didn't go as planned!

I think just Starter and BN. There are a lot of horses at that level that make jump judges gasp.

Just explaining what the actual rule is since some seemed confused, and what the point behind the rule is (to encourage people to circle and reapproach instead of trying to jump from a standstill). It seems like a lot of jump judges don't understand this, despite it being pretty clearly written out on the jump judge information sheet. I see it quite regularly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-27927156817997190512015-05-05T21:23:17.898-04:002015-05-05T21:23:17.898-04:00It's obviously not ideal and not the way I int...It's obviously not ideal and not the way I intended to ride the fence. They didn't post scores until the next morning, and I was truly not sure whether I went clear or not based on that fence - I would have taken the penalties. I am not proud of it, of course. There's a lot I would have changed about that XC round.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-5866343147388250582015-05-05T21:12:31.175-04:002015-05-05T21:12:31.175-04:00At jumps over 1' in height, it is considered a...At jumps over 1' in height, it is considered a refusal at the point when the horse comes to a complete stop, regardless of whether it jumps or steps backward. This can obviously get sketchy, since it's at the jump judge's discretion. However, IMO it's very dangerous to jump a solid fence from a stand still. As a jump judge I've noted that situation as a refusal, with the comment of "jumped from a standstill, dangerous" in the notes.
