Show Jumps What There Is To Know About Them
Show jumps are usually found in English style horse competitions. It is not to say they only happen in England, that is not the case at all, it is just the name of the most common style of horse competitions. Known as show jumping or stadium jumping, it can either be an event of its own or can be included with dressing, hunters and other special equestrian events.
There are a couple of classes of horses in these shows, one is the hunter class the other is the jumping class. The hunter class is judged by appearance, manners and style, whereas the jumper class is based on a number scale on the ability to follow routines, which jumping over show jumps is part of the routine. Hunter class require calmness and style while the jumper class requires the horse to be bold, fast, accurate, power and control.
There are a variety of different things that will create faults that will be given to the horse which will lower its score. Those would be knockdown or refusals as well as time violations. Note that there is no fault given to the horse if the knockdown did not result in making the jump shorter. That means it is alright for the horse to knock down a bar that is in the middle or the bottom.
Refusals are up to four faults and generally occur when there is damage or disruption of the jump area by the horse refusing to make the jump. If the damage interferes with the event it is then they get faulted. The number of faults given depend upon how long that it takes to make the repair during the event.
Time is a factor as well. Should the horse go over the time allowed for the course, the horse and rider will receive one second of fault for each second that the horse goes over the allowed time for that course.
Combination faults is when the horse refuses to jump the same area of the course more than once, sometimes in the same event the rider and horse will be expected to go over the same part of the course as part of the entire event. In that case, say the horse refused twice, then the total amount of faults would equal 8 not 4.
The type of tack or saddle and accessories that a horse wears is important to the horse and rider. The saddle is an English saddle that allows the rider to have close contact with the horse. This kind of saddle gives both the horse and rider a lot more freedom when it comes to their show jumps. The saddle pads are generally white, they can attach the bridle to any kind of noseband and can be equipped with a bit or not. A lot do not use bits. If used, they must get approval of the official vet before they can use the bit on the horse.
There are several different competitions available around the world. Grand Prix is one where the horses are made to jump ten to sixteen different types of jumps. Some of which reach as high as six and a half feet. This particular course can be seen in the Olympics.
Other types that are popular would be, Speed Derby, Puissance which is a type of course that may have jumps as tall as seven feet high. The Six Bar is a course that has six different jumps for the horse that vary in size beginning with the shortest and ending with the tallest. The Gamblers Choice is a course that the rider picks for the horse. There is also one called the Maiden or Novice which is a course for horses with very little experience.
The show jumps themselves vary as well. The Vertical is one where the horse must jump several different poles place on top of one another and there is no width for the horse to deal with. Another one is the Oxer and what that is, is when they put two Vertical jumps together adding some width to the jump for the horse. The Triple Bar is when they use a fence type jump with three different height bars. They have a Wall jump made up of material to look like bricks and many more types are available.
The types of horses used in show jumps are generally Warmbloods or Thoroughbreds that can measure as tall as 16 hands in height, although there have been some good show jumpers that have competed that did not come from such breeds.
