Show
jumping is a form of competition in which horses
are jumped over a course of fences, low walls, and other obstacles
(e.g., water-filled ditches or troughs). Show
jumping is a competitive sport consisting of many elements. The
course is pre-arranged; the event may be timed or untimed. It is
scored by a judge or panel of judges. Show jumping or
"jumpers" is a member of a family of English-discipline
equestrian events that includes hunters and equitation. Events that
include these sports are called hunter/jumper horse shows.

Overview
There are four types of jumping disciplines: Hunter, Equitation,
Jumper(show jumping), and Stadium Jumping Courses (with combined three
day eventing). In a Hunter style course, courses are designed for a
smooth, flowing performance of the horse. A rider should demonstrate
an even pace over fences simulating those found in the natural hunting
field. In competition, a horse is judged on its performance, manners,
and way of going. An even, steady pace, consistently good takeoff
distances, good jumping style, long, low movement, and overall
smoothness and ease of performance are paramount. If a horse ticks, or
touches, the fence he is jumping with his fore or hind legs, a fault
is added to the score.
Jumper courses are held over a course of show jumping obstacles,
including verticals, spreads, double and triple combinations, and many
turns and changes of direction. The more professional the class, such
as a Grade A class, the more technical the strides between each fence
becomes. For example they would make a related combination with the
normal horse canter stride of six strides between each fence and
change it to six and a half strides to make it more complicated for
the rider. The purpose is to jump cleanly over a twisting course
within an allotted time; jumping faults are incurred for knockdowns
only (as compared to ticks), disobedience, and time faults for
exceeding time allowance. Tied entries jump over a raised and
shortened course; if entries are tied in the jump-off, the fastest
time wins. Riders walk both course and the jump-off course before
competition, to plan their ride.
Jumper courses are highly technical, requiring boldness, scope,
power, accuracy, and control; speed is also a factor, especially in
jump-off course and speed classes (in which time counts in the first
round). A jumper must jump big, bravely, and fast, but he must also be
careful and accurate to avoid knockdowns, and must be balanced and
rideable in order to rate and turn accurately. A jumper rider must
ride the best line to each fence, saving ground with well-planned
turns and lines, and must adjust his horse's stride for each fence and
distance, while avoiding knockdowns. In a jumpoff, he must balance the
need to go as fast as possible and turn as tight as he can, against
his horse's ability to jump cleanly.
The horses are allowed a certain number of refusals to take a jump
or other obstacle, but fault points are added to their score for each
one. Until recently, it was 3 faults, but was changed to 4 faults by
the FEI (Federation Equestrian International) as it was decided that
it is better for the horse to attempt the jump rather than to refuse
it and should therefore not be penalized less for a more severe fault.
If they take more than the time allowed for the course, they earn one
fourth fault for each extra second. For every pole that is knocked
down, four faults are earned.
The final rankings are based on the lowest number of points
accumulated. In case of a draw, the horse with the fastest time ranks
higher.
Grace,
beauty and skill
History of show jumping
Show jumping is a relatively new equestrian sport. Until the
Enclosures Acts which came into force in England
in the eighteenth century there had been no need for a horse to jump
fences as there had been none. But with this act of parliament came
new challenges for those followers of fox hounds. The enclosures act
brought fencing and boundaries to many parts of the country as common
ground was dispersed amongst the wealthy landowners. This meant that
those wishing to pursue their sport now needed horses which were
capable of jumping these obstacles.
In the early shows held in France
there was a parade of competitors who then took off across country for
the jumping. This sport was, however, not popular with spectators as
they could not watch the jumping. Soon after the introduction of these
parades fences began to appear in the arena. This became known as ‘Lepping’.
Fifteen years later, ‘Lepping’ competitions were brought to Britain
and by 1900 most of the more important shows had ‘Lepping’ classes
although they rarely attracted more than 20 competitors. The ladies,
riding side-saddle, had their own classes.
At this time, the principal cavalry schools of Europe at Pinerolo
and Tor-di-Quinto in Italy, the French school in Saumur and the
Spanish school in Vienna preferred to use a backward seat when jumping
for safety purposes with long length stirrups. The Italian Instructor
Captain Fiederico Caprilli heavily influenced the forward seat with
his ideas that the forward position would not impede the balance of
the horse negotiating obstacles. It is this latter style which is
commonly used today.
The first big
show jumping class to be held in England was in the
Horse of the Year Show at Olympia in 1907. Most of the competitors
were servicemen and it became clear at this competition and in the
subsequent years that there was no uniformity of rules for the sport.
Judges marked on their own opinions. Some marked according to the
severity of the obstacle and others marked according to style. Before
1907 there were no penalties for a refusal and the competitor was
sometimes asked to miss the fence to please the spectators. The first
courses were built with little imagination; many consisting of only a
straight bar fence and a water jump. A meeting was arranged in 1923 to
rectify it and this led to the formation of the BSJA in 1925.
Today
, show jumping has come a long way in a relatively short time. Jumping
courses are now highly technical , requiring boldness, scope ,power,
accuracy and control from both horse and rider. In the early days the
time element did not count and water jumps always contained water
until it eventually drained away ( benefiting the later drawn
horses in the competition ) . Further , it was some years before a
competitor was penalised for circling between obstacles. In addition ,
the high jump would start with a single pole at a height of 5ft. (
1.52m ) but this style of competition was abandoned due to the
horses considering the easier option of going under the pole ! and led
to the fillers and multiple poles etc that are seen on present day
courses.
Show
Jumping was introduced to the Olympic
Games in 1912 and has thrived ever since. There have been calls
recently to have all equestrian sports removed from the Olympics based
upon the argument that the Olympics is about man competing against man
and that there should be no involvement nor competition between any
other living species. Well fortunately that argument did not gain much
favour and we at Greenacres Stud cant wait to attend our first
Olympics in London's Greenwich park in 2012. To list all the
achievements of all the past great Olympic Horses would itself take
until nearly 2012 to compile. We would however just like to give a
very quick mention to just 2.... Milton who is a part Trakehner ( the
breed close to our heart ) and Ahorn who is the grand sire of our own
Dutch Warmblood Greenacres Hajla - Z and Holstein Warmblood Greenacres
Hekabo - Z .
Original scoring tariff
The original list of faults introduced in 1925 was as follows:
Refusing or Running out at any fence:
-
1st: 8 faults
-
2nd: 8 faults
-
3rd: Elimination
Fall of Horse or Rider or both: Elimination
Horse touches a fence without knocking it down, then there are no
faults, as they are only incurred if a pole or any part of the jump is
knoked down.
For every jump that is knoked down 4 faults are incurred. The same
as for a water jump, if a horse has lands with one foot or more than
one in the water there are still only 4 faults incurred.
Water jumps were at least 15 feet (5 metres) wide although the
water had often drained out of them before the last competitor jumped
them. High jumping would start with a pole at around 5 foot but this
was later abandoned as many horses went under the pole. It was for
this reason that more poles were added and fillers came into use. In
the early days time penalties did not count and competitors were not
penalized until 1917. Showjumping was first incorporated into the
Olympic Games in 1912 and has thrived ever since, its popularity due
in part to its suitability as a spectator sport which can be viewed on
television.

The
Stevensons Jewellers Challenge Final 25 June, 2006
Another
superb event, very entertaining and great fun for the
competitors and spectators. The 8th event in this
series, was held at The Golden Cross Equestrian Centre near
Hailsham. Click here for details
The
Stevensons Jewellers Challenge Final 2 July, 2004
On Sunday June 27th, Lower Stunts Green eventer Penny Sangster
&
Greenbank Harlequin won the sixth running of the Stevensons
Jewellers
Challenge Final at Golden Cross Equestrian
Centre, with the Sussex
eventers holding their own against the Sussex showjumpers
taking the top
four places.
Sponsor, Haywards Heath jeweller Russell Stevenson said, 'I
was pleased
the crowd stayed on. The bank was solid with them. Although
the eventers
dominated this year, I have to be honest and say it's a little
bit more
favourable to them. But everyone had fun and it's been
wonderful.
Organiser Ian Bareham and course designer Keith Bristow worked
so hard
to put this on.'
