Cross country - Riders may score 10, 20, or 30 at the marked gamblers jumps only, depending on which part of the jump they clear. Riders are not to jump more than 5 jumps one level above their class/height entered, doing so will result in a zero score for that jump. Points are only counted if the jump is cleared at the first attempt. A refusal or run-off means that no points are gained at that jump, even if it is cleared at a second attempt. When riders have a disobedience, they may bypass that jump if they wish. Riders must retire in the event of a fall of horse or rider. B. Show-Jumping - Riders choose their own course, and can attempt a maximum of six jumps. The number of the jump indicates the points that may be gained from that jump. Points are only counted if the jump is cleared at the first attempt (and no rails dislodged). c. The rider with the highest number of points is the winner. In the event of a "tie," the rider closest to the optimum time for the cross country is the winner. NOTE: Dogs are NOT prohibited on the Park. They may not be left in vehicles. People with dogs will be asked to leave the venue.
