Rapid
Eventing NEW for 2009 - Cullinghood’s version of Express
Eventing
Just
like normal eventing there are 3 Stages, the dressage stage will be
completed
by all in the morning. The Showjumping
and Cross Country course are combined in one area, where you will need
to complete
the showjumping course first and then it is off to the “Pit
Stop”. In the Pit Stop you will be
required to
dismount and change into your X-Country tunic and Silk, complete a task
like putting
a bridle together or completing a questionnaire (The task will be the
same for
everyone but may differ on different events). You then remount and go
on, to
complete the X-Country Stage. Normal
rules on each discipline apply but the
time section will be the Pit Stop or the Showjumping and Pit Stop
together.
It’s
great to watch as it is all held in one area and great fun for all
abilities.
X-Country
/ Showjumping NEW for 2009.
Doing
a lot of showingjumping? and not enough X-Country, well this event is
for you.
Both you and your horse can gain confidence on a X-Country course with
an
option of unfixed fences.
Next to each cross country fence there will be a showjumping fence. You can choose either to take the X-Country fence or the showjump, whichever one you like the look of. The rules will be 4 faults for a knock down on a showjumping fence and 3 faults for a refusal on either fence. In an event of a fall riders will not be allowed to remount.
3
Day Eventing – an old favourite.
Your
3 Disciplines will be run over 3 consecutive Saturdays.
Dressage on the first Saturday, Cross Country
on the Second and then followed by Showjumping on the third Saturday. You must enter the same class each week to
qualifier for the overall prizes. You
can do as many classes as you like on each day.
A
perfect way to get lots of practice
in between each stage.
