Open to all B and A riders and to adult amateur riders.

Riders will compete in their age appropriate equitation classes (both flat and over fences/medal) throughout the regular show season. Riders must show in the minimum number of shows as required by the Zone to qualify for year end awards (ie. 50%).

Riders must compete in both

(a) their age appropriate equitation on the flat and

(b) Either their age appropriate equitation over fences or their division appropriate medal class.

Riders must declare by the beginning of the second regular season show in which they compete whether they wish to accumulate points in over fences or medal classes. Riders may switch between qualifying classes once they have declared but points will only count in one division and will not be retroactive .  Declarations must be made in writing to ce_points@live.ca.

Riders will accumulate points for each placing from 1 – 6 at each show in which they participate as follows:

1^st Place – 6 points

2^nd Place – 5 points

3^rd Place – 4 points

4^th Place – 3 points

5^th Place – 2 points

6^th Place – 1 point

The top ten (10) riders will be invited to participate in an equitation ride-off to take place during The Zone Classic at Palgrave in August. The ride-off will be a flat portion with one jump (fence to be no higher than 2’6”) and may include:

• Walk, trot, canter
• Counter Canter
• Collected and extended gaits
• Other tests as determined by the committee/judges

Points will be tallied after each regular season show and will be posted on the Central East THJA website.
