Cross Country Jumping
8:30-9:25 Training Level 3-Day
9:45-11:30 ** Competition
12:00-2:45 * Competition
The second discipline is the cross-country test. The object of this test is to prove the speed, endurance and jumping ability of the true cross-country horse when he is well trained and brought to peak condition. At the same time, it demonstrates the rider's knowledge of pace and the use of his/her horse across country. The course includes water obstacles, banks, ditches and other solid jumps of great variety, and is ridden at a good gallop.
Cross-country courses require horses and riders to be bold and smart and also test stamina.
