(Average of top 4 rides) - CESHS 2012 Hunter Derby class (finals not included) CESHS Hunter Derby
The Hunter Derby revives traditional horsemanship and adds excitement to the hunter ring, returning hunters to their hunt-field roots, and promoting hunters as a spectator sport. It is the purpose of the Derby to challenge both the horse and rider. The courses should be built to encourage and reward brilliance and daring from the rider, and true athletic ability from the horses. It encourages riders to show what their horse does best! SCORING The Derby is open to horses only. The specifications of the Hunter Derby can be found in the CESHS Rule Book. There will be only one round at the regular shows, but it may consist of options from both the Hunter Classic and the Handy Hunter courses. The Hunter Classic Course, is judged on style, and brilliance. The Handy Hunter Course, is judged on style, brillance, and handiness. Horses receive a single bonus point for each higher option attempted. Judge may award from 1-6 additional points for handiness. All scores to be announced separately, (round score, bonus points for higher options, and handiness score). Final score then to be tabulated and announced. Finals There will be a Hunter Derby Final at the end of the season, judged by two judges. Each judge assigns a numerical score to the ride, and the scores are then combined for the overall total. The top 10 point earning horses will be invited to participate, and they will be required to jump 2 rounds, round one the Hunter Classic course and round two, the Handy Hunter course. The judges may award up to 1-6 bonus points on the second round for exceptional handiness. There will be a presentation to the winner at the Finals, trophy and 1st thru 6th ribbons to be awarded at our Annual Banquet. |
