"JUMP TO IT I!"
We appreciate your support and are very grateful that you have chosen Olde Hope to tune up your cross country skills.
Jump To It is a non competitive controlled Cross Country Schooling. The farm will open at 10:00 for registration and pinney pick-up which is located in the pool shed by the food booth. The courses may then be walked on foot or on Horseback from 10:00am to 10:50am. If mounted you MUST wear your number and WALK only. NO trotting or cantering and NO JUMPING!
After 11:00 the course will be available to walk while the schooling is in progress, but please be careful and watch for the horses on course that have the right of way. Check with the starter before walking.
Everyone has been assigned a time to go out of the box. If you have entered 2 divisions you will school the lower division first. Those that are doing the same course twice will have a break between the rounds.
While on course you may choose to skip a fence and are allowed ONLY 3 REFUSALS at one fence before moving on. If you hear the whistle you must move on. At the bank, ditch and water jump you may school the fence in multiple directions before proceeding to the next fence. Please let the starter know if you plan to do so.
Elementary competitors who are riding 2 rounds may elect to ride the course in the opposite direction during their second go. Trainers may go along the course to help as needed. Elementary may also school the stadium fences before the start of XC as part of the course.
Intro, Pre Novice, and Novice divisions will ride at their scheduled times.
Parking will be in the usual location. You may use the area in the parking lot for warm-up as well as the designated jumping warm-ups. Please do NOT ride in the dressage fields.
When your day is complete please return your pinney to the secretary.
Thanks again for supporting Olde Hope Farms, enjoy your day of XC Schooling. We hope to see you again this season at our Horse Trials.
