Jump Cross..
A fun and challenging mixture of over 20 combined show jumps and cross-country jumps. The course starts with show jumps, moves onto cross country jumps and then finishes over show jumps. As with all of our events, all levels of horse and rider are taken into consideration and we’re sure everyone will find a class to suit.
There is an undisclosed optimum time and the winners will be determined on a combination of penalty points for faults (such as falls, refusals and knocking down unfixed obstacles), and being closest to this optimum time.
Class 1: 30 to 40cm
(suitable for lead rein)
Class 2: 45 to 65cm
Class 3: 70 to 80cm
Classes may be combined if entries are low

Cross Country attire is required, including body protectors to current Pony Club safety standard. If an air jacket is worn, please make the entries secretary and collecting ring stewards aware.
