Combined Training Rules

The dressage and jumping phases, which make up this competition, must be ridden in that order. The same horse and rider combination must complete both phases, and elimination from one phase involves elimination from the whole competition.

Scoring

The marks for the dressage phase are totalled in the normal manner. Any faults

incurred in the jumping phase are deducted from the marks awarded for the dressage phase.

Equality

If the final score gives equality of marks to 2 or more competitors, the result is

decided by the highest marks for the dressage test. If there is still equality, the fastest time in the jumping test determines the result.

Saddlery

Dressage – According to BD rules

Jumping – According to BSJA rules except that standing martingales and

Market Harboroughs are not allowed.
