About Show Jumping

Show jumping tests a rider’s ability to combine speed with accuracy over a stadium course composed of knockdown fences. It is an event that is popular among spectators everywhere. It provides a source of excitement for everyone, even those who may have never seen a horse before!

The objective is for riders to complete the course with the lest amount of penalties being accumulated and without having exceeded the time allowed. Penalties are assessed for knockdowns and refusals. In the event of a tie, or with more than one ride having gone clear, then a timed jump-off is held with the rider who has gone the fastest with the least penalties, being the winner.

Canadian pony club show jumping competitions are governed by current CEF rules - Table A, Table B, or power and speed. Depending on the type of class being run, those riders who go clear and within the time allowed may qualify for a jump-off. In the jump-off, clean rounds count ahead of those with knock-downs, and the fastest clear round wins.
