RTTT Jumper Challenge
A hybrid jumper/equitation class, this event reflects the values of the foundation: skill, precision, and horsemanship. Set at 1.15m, this class is open to junior, professional, or amateur riders (see age restrictions below) and run in a Table II, 2b format. Judged by an equitation judge and a jumper judge, riders must be clean with no time faults and an equitation score of 75 points or higher to proceed to the jump-off round.
The equitation judge’s score for a rider’s jump off round is ADDED to his or her first-round score.
The rider with the least faults and the highest cumulative score is the winner.
