Warm up Ring Etiquette

Warm up ring etiquette

Carleton Riding Club is very aware of health and safety and as such requests that competitors do not invite instructors or helpers into the warm up ring. This is consistent with BD rules. Instructors / helpers are welcome to stand behind the rails and provide encouragement / instruction, provided this is carried out in a discreetly and doesn’t interfere with or distract fellow competitors. Please observe the left-to-left warm up etiquette and remember to look up and be aware of fellow competitors. Walking should always be done on the inside track and never on the outside track, to allow riders in trot and canter the additional room. If you are in walk on the outside track, please give way to all riders in trot and canter (this is the only time the left to left rule is not observed).

Warm up is on a surface next to the outdoor competition arena.

Lunging is not permitted in the competition warm up area. However, lunging may be arranged with prior permission directly from Easton College, in another area. To book please contact Easton college directly in advance.

SHOW JUMPING RULES

All show-jumping classes are judged under the BRC Rules, any exceptions as below.

Single phase: First and second section with a time allowed and time limit. Second Section against the clock. Faults to be accumulated over both sections. The competitor will jump the whole course unless they are eliminated. Number of fences: 5-7 fences in each section (max 12 fences overall). The second section must include at least 5 additional obstacles. The height of the second section should be set higher than those set for the first section.

Table A7: All those who go clear in round one will go forward to round two over a timed jump off course.

The BRC rule of 4 faults for the first refusal, 8 faults for the second refusal and elimination for the third refusal will be applied.

Fall of rider and/or horse means immediate elimination and no other jumps in the ring may be attempted.

Non-Competitive Entries (HC)

HC jumping maybe permitted on payment of the appropriate entry fee and subject to the number of entries in the class. Any HC jumping rounds will be ridden at the end of the first round for each class at the judges’ discretion.

Dress

Jackets must be worn; gaiters are permitted, as are leather half chaps in black or brown. In extreme hot weather the judge may permit competitors to compete without a jacket but only if a suitable long sleeved shirt is worn.

Eligibility Rules

This schedule has been compiled to give a gradual progression of jumping courses to suit the various abilities of horse and rider. Club members wishing to have the chance to compete in BRC Area teams are expected to compete in the classes of the appropriate standard. Riders are asked to enter classes appropriate to the horse and rider combination ability and experience. Riders underestimating their horses’ ability may be asked to consider the round HC and to enter the next appropriate class.

The Club considers that three consecutive height classes are acceptable as the maximum a combination should attempt. Those combinations jumping the 50cm are not eligible for classes 3-6 as the 50cm is aimed at novice horses and riders.

Warm up ring Etiquette

Carleton Riding Club is very aware of health and safety and as such requests that competitors do not invite instructors or helpers into the warm up ring, unless they are there to alter the jumps. Instructors / helpers are welcome to stand behind the rails and provide encouragement / instruction, provided this is carried out in a discreetly and doesn’t interfere with or distract fellow competitors. Please only jump with the red flag on your right, and pass left hand to left hand. Competitors should walk on the inside track so that others can trot and canter on the outside track.

Prizes League Trophies

Rosettes to 6th place - all classes will be split Horses over 148 cm (14.2 hh) and Ponies under 148 cm (14.2 hh). There are member’s perpetual trophies for Classes 1-6

League Points are awarded at each show on the following basis.

Points are added up for each combination in each class throughout the season; those horse/rider combinations who have collected points at a minimum of 2 shows during the season will be eligible for the league prizes.
