All Breed Horse Show
Dates:
July 19 & 20, 2008
Place:
Stampede Park, Medicine Hat, Alberta
Judging:
TBA
FREE ADMISSION to each night of jumping 6:00pm Saturday
and Sunday.
These events are held in conjunction with the Medicine Hat All Breed
Horse Show.
Show jumping, unlike other equestrian events, is an
event where you as a spectator are not required to be an expert in
the field in order to recognize the winner. Basically, the horse that
completes the course with the least faults is the winner!
Here's How It Works:
Competitors are scored in the first round by accumulating the least
amount of the following faults:
- First disobedience (run-out, refusal, circle) - 4 Faults
- Obstacle knockdown - 4 Faults
- Second disobedience - Elimination
- Fall of horse/rider - Elimination
- Off specified course - Elimination
After the first round, if there is a tie between competitors, a second
round or jump-off will be set. The jump-off will consist of a shortened
course in which some of the jumps will be raised. The competitors
will then be scored as in the first round on faults as well as being
timed. The competitor with the least amount of faults and the least
amount of time will be declared the winner.
 Burger
King Whopper Challenge
- Power jumping over three vertical 2-sided fences starting at 3'6"
in first round.
- Maximum of four jump-offs.
- Purse Divided among competitors left after a maximum four jump-offs
- Optional jump-off to riders in the event of a tie.
Hunt Seat Equitation Over Fences
- To be judged on riders ability
- The performance of the horse is not to be considered unless it
is the result of the rider's ability
- The picture the judge is looking for is that of a well-tailored,
clean and neat rider, on a well-groomed horse, with a minimum of
tack, in a balanced position on the horse creating as little burden
for the horse as possible both on the flat and over fences.

Gambler's Choice
- Each obstacle carries from 10-100 points depending on its degree
of difficulty.
- The riders have 90 seconds to acquire as many point as possible.
- They may choose any path they wish, they may jump from either
direction and any one obstacle may be jumped twice.
- No points are awarded for an obstacle knocked down
- Should an obstacle be knocked down, it will not be rebuilt and
no points will accumulate if it is jumped again.
- Ringing the bell declares the end of the round.
- If the horse is already taking off, this obstacle counts.
- The competitor must then cross the finish line.
- The competitor who has obtained the greatest number of points
will be declared the winner.
- In the event of a tie, the fastest time taken between the starting
line and the finish line will decide.
- In the even to a tie with points and time, there will be a jump-off
with a fixed time of 40 seconds.
Horse and Hound Relay (first 12 entries)
- Horse and hound will be randomly chosen as relay partners.
- Horse will complete a timed course fences not to exceed 2'9"
followed by hound partner who will also complete a timed course.
