However, in the jump off, if there is more than one clean round, the fastest time wins. Skip to content Several competitive events involve horses jumping over an obstacle or a series of obstacles. Show Jumping — Horse and rider are scored only on time and successful clearing of all fences. Hunters over Fences — Horses and rider are judged on form over fences, rhythm between fences, and other criteria as well as jumping ability. Hunter Equitation over Fences — Riders are scored on their ability to ride a horse around a course in the hunter style.
Cross Country — Horses and riders complete a course over natural terrain through fields and wooded areas jumping stationary fixed obstacles. Scoring is based on negotiating all fences and time. Combined Test — Horses are scored in dressage and show jumping, with a combined score determining final placings. May be one to three days in length. Show Jumping Show jumping involves three primary types of obstacles, depending on the level of competition.

As pretty much all competitions have risen from hunting etc, it is much much much safer for a horse to stop then knock and fence. For example a solid gate or post amd rail fences out hunting would most likely cause a fall.
Therefore is better to have a ultra careful horse who may stop if it can't clear the fence than one which will always jump. When I've SJ'ed at West Wilts they have gave 3 faults unaff IMO a refusal is worse than a pole but others may disagree so I think a refusal should get the same as a pole. Old SJ BSJA rules were 3 faults for 1st stop, 6 for second and 3rd was elimination rather than current 2 stops and your out rule. A lot of unaffil show centres kept the old rules to give novice riders more of a chance which I prefer.
There was a lot of fuss at the time which I think was when I was on 12h2's so about 14 or 15 years ago now!!! PC kept to old rules for many years but I think have now changed to 4 faults for first stop and second and 3rd is elimination though I think I may well be wrong as not competed PC comps in years either!
The theory with the old BSJA rules of 3 faults for first stop was that a horse who stopped should get time faults so a horse with a pole should come out on top! Joined 4 December Messages I see both sides to the argument, I'd rather a horse stop if it was going to have a fence that would cause a fall but in showjumping this is very rare as the poles fall.
However some horses stop due to a disobediance not inc spooking novices in this and IMHO that should be penalised as much as a pole.

Competitions could continue for as many rounds as the judges saw fit and often those with the least knockdowns were not even in the line up. Countries held show jumping competitions under their own rules; it was not until the formation of the FEI and many years on that all international competitions came under the same ruling in each country.
Courses, however, were built with little imagination. A common display would include two straight fences down each side of the arena with either a triple bar or water jump down the centre. These idiosyncrasies of more faults for fore limbs were based on the values held in the hunting field where if a horse were to be careless with his front legs he would be more inclined to tip up and less so with the hind legs.
Water jumps were a minimum 15 feet in width though often the water had drained away by the time the last competitor had competed. High Jump would start with a single pole at a height of 5ft 1.
