Pace, brilliance, and a shorter track are to be rewarded. A horse/rider may not jump decorations or other obstacles in order to create a shorter track.

Each will provide a single score for their designated phase, in addition to the Bonus points of one point per high option jump that will be added to each judging’s score. The scores from each judge will be added together to determine the total score and placement.
