Open to all riders. Gamblers choice: Each jump will be given a point value and every time a horse clears a jump they receive the points assigned to that fence. Points will only be awarded once for jumping a jump – unless you are taking the same jump from a different direction.

You may jump it a second time and be awarded points IF going in the opposite direction.) Riders may take any path they choose and jump the jumps in any order the choose. There will be a time limit of 90 seconds and the horse and rider combination who has the most points at the end of their time will be the winner. Must have 10 entries to run as a $500 class.

Ribbons and medals to the top 3 teams.
Ribbons to 8th for the top individuals.
Open to anyone that shows in an equitation class during the September 20-22, 2024 SATP Horse Show, or any professional. Class will consist of a written test, a flat phase, and a jumping phase. All three phases will be given a score, and all scores will be added together. Further testing of the top contestants after the three phases will be at the judge’s discretion.
The written test will be a short, basic horsemanship quiz about tack, horse conformation, care of horses, rule book questions and showing practices. There will be some multiple choice questions, as well as some true/false questions. It is intended to be a learning experience with relatively easy questions, and will have questions geared toward the intermediate equestrian. All contestants will be required to take the test at the same time, just before the class starts. Each contestant will earn a score.
The flat phase will be conducted as an equitation on the flat class, working both directions of the ring. Contestants may be asked to perform collectively, or individually, tests included in the USEF rulebook. Contestants will NOT be asked to counter-canter. All contestants will be given a score.
The jumping phase will be over an equitation type course, geared toward the intermediate rider. Riders and trainers may walk the course before the class. It may consist of lines, broken lines, roll back turns, and trot jumps testing the rider’s ability to control their mount. The riders will enter the ring with a score of the first two phases. A score will be given after the jumping phase, and added to the other scores to determine a winner. The judge may decide if further testing is needed.

The “Hunt and Go” format was only introduced several years ago as a way to shorten the original derby format while still offering a classic and a handy round. Instead of all riders competing through the classic and then returning at a later time for a handy, the course is designed as half classic and half handy. Riders are therefore able to highlight their horse’s strengths in both formats. We will run this derby at 2’6”, 2’9”, 3’, and 3’3” Each entrant will receive a numerical score for the classic round and a separate numerical score for the handy round. All horses will complete the handy round unless they have a major fault such as a refusal, pole down, or a fall. The total of the two rounds will be the final score.
