WHAT IS STYLE JUMPING?
The scoring involves four general aspects. The first is the assessment of the rider, which looks at a simple figure of eight in a 325mpm canter with a change of leg through trot or with a clean flying change. During the round the judge looks for feel and skill, position, balance and rhythm. On jumping the final fence you continue to canter at 325mpm. The feedback given should be constructive and positive to not only draw attention to the highlights but also show where improvements can be made to encourage better riding and higher marks. The judge can also give half marks.
There are penalties given but they are not the same as a Show Jumping round. The course is timed and for every second over the optimum time the combination receives one penalty however the course is not jumped against the clock. Knocking a pole off will incur two penalties, first refusal will incur three penalities and second refusal will incur six penalties. Other errors, including a fall or error of course, result in elimination. It is best to familiarise yourself with the BRC Rule Book where you can find more information on the rules for both disciplines
