Classes will be judged 100% on the manner of horse’s performance through the course. C. There is a 60-second time limit to complete each obstacle. After time is used, the exhibitor will be directed to the next obstacle. Refusal to do an obstacle does not constitute class disqualification. D. Cantering penalized. E. Obstacle requirements: Must be a minimum of five and maximum of eight obstacles. F. In shows where more than one driving obstacle class is offered, at least three of the obstacles must be different—or the manner of performance through obstacles must be varied—for the class. G. All obstacles should be safe for exhibitors as well as for horses. H. “Off course” is defined as: suitable two-wheeled cart.
(G) WORKING HUNTER: (1) Course: (b) Minimum obstacles and fences. A minimum of four (4) obstacles. (i) Horses to jump a minimum of eight fences. (ii) One change of direction is mandatory. (c) Fences shall simulate obstacles found in the hunting field, such as natural looking post and rail, brush, walls, coops and ascending oxers (not square). (d) Triple bar and hogs back are prohibited. (e) Striped poles are not recommended. (f) The top element of all fences must be securely placed so that a slight rub will not cause a knockdown. (g) The distance between fences is recommended to be in 12 foot (3.65m) increments with the exception of some combinations; one stride in and out, 24 feet to 26 feet (7.31-7.92 m); two strides in and out, 36 feet (10.97m); three strides 48 feet (14.63m) (h) Height of obstacle must be a minimum of 2 foot 6 inches (76.12 cm) and a maximum of 3 feet (91 cm). (i) A variation of 3 inches (7.62 cm) in fence height, lower than official heights listed, may be instituted if show management and the judge feel circumstances warrant, e.g. footing, weather, etc. (j) The use of wings on obstacles in hunter classes is recommended. (k) Jump standards with heights at 3 inch (7.62cm) intervals with jump cups are recommended. (2) Scoring: (a) To be judged on manners, way of going and style of jumping. Maintaining an even hunting pace that covers the course with free flowing strides. (b) Preference will be given to horses with correct jumping style that meet fence squarely, jumping at center of fence. (c) Judges shall penalize for the following: (i) Unsafe jumping and bad form over fence, whether touched or untouched, including twisting. (ii) Incorrect leads around the ends of the course or cross-cantering. (iii) Excessive use of crop.) (iv) Incorrect number of strides taken on an In & Out. (v) Any error which endangers the horse and or rider (vi) Refusals or knockdowns (3) Scoring shall be on a basis of 0 - 100, with an approximate breakdown as follows: (a) 90 - 100: an excellent performer and good mover that jumps the entire course with cadence, balance and style. (b) 80 - 89: a good performer that jumps all fences reasonably well; an excellent performer that commits one or two minor faults. (c) 70 - 79: the average, fair mover that makes no serious faults, but lacks the style cadence and good balance of the scopier horses; the good performer that makes a few minor faults. (d) 60 - 69: poor movers that make minor mistakes; fair or average movers that have one or two poor fences but no major faults or disobediences. (e) 50 - 59: a horse that commits one major fault, such as a hind knockdown, refusal, trot, cross-canter or drops a leg. (f) 30 - 39: a horse that commits two or more major faults, including front knockdowns and refusals, or jumps in a manner that otherwise endangers the horse and or rider. (g) 10 - 29: a horse that avoids elimination but jumps in such an unsafe and dangerous manner as to preclude a higher score. (4) Elimination: A total of three disobediences which can include any of the following: (a) Refusal, stop, run-out, or extra circle. (b) Jumping an obstacle before it is reset. (c) Bolting from the arena. (d) Off–course. (e) Deliberately addressing an obstacle (f) Horse and or rider falling. Horses consider to have fallen when shoulder and haunch on same side touch the ground, or the obstacle and the ground. (g) Failure to trot the horse in a small circle on a loose rein for soundness, after completing the course while still mounted and prior to leaving the arena. (5) General: (a) Circling once upon entering the ring is permissible. (b) Circling once after all obstacles are completed is required. (c) Horses shall not be requested to re-jump the course. (d) When obstacle is composed of several elements, any disturbance of these elements will be penalized; however, only a reduction in height of the top element shall be considered a knockdown. (e) In cases of broken equipment, the rider may either continue without penalty or stop and correct the difficulty and be penalized the same as any loss of forward impulsion. (f) When an obstacle requires two or more fences (in and out), faults committed at each obstacle are considered separately. In case of a refusal or run-out at one element, entry must re-jump the previous element(s). (6) Major faults (a) Refusal - When a horse stops in front of an obstacle (whether or not the obstacle is knocked down or altered), it is a refusal unless the horse then immediately jumps the obstacle without backing one step. If horse takes one step backwards it is a refusal. Note: After refusal, if horse is moved towards the obstacle but does not attempt to jump, it is considered another refusal (b) Run-out - A run-out occurs when a horse evades or passes the obstacle to be jumped; jumps an obstacle outside it’s limiting markers; or when the horse or rider knocks down a flag, standard, wing or other element limiting the obstacle (without obstacle being jumped). (c) Loss of forward movement - Failure to maintain trot, canter or gallop after crossing starting line, except when it is a refusal, a run-out or when due to uncontrollable circumstances such as when an obstacle being reset. (d) Unnecessary circling on course. Any form of circle or circles whereby the horse crosses its original track between two consecutive obstacles anywhere on course, except to retake obstacle after refusal or run-out. (e) First disobedience anywhere on course - 3 faults (f) Second cumulative disobedience anywhere on course - 6 faults (g) Whenever possible a schooling area should be provided with at least one practice jump.
