| Stadium jumping is the third phase of combined training. This final test in both horse trials and the three day event, is not an ordinary show jumping competition, nor is it a test of style or endurance. Its sole objective is to prove that, after a test of endurance, the horse can continue in service. It is the final test of the riders' development of his or her mount and of the equine athletes' excellence. The jumping course may appear fairly simple, but its track is fairly irregular and winding, requiring handiness and obedience. In Stadium, as in cross country, the rider may walk the course first, but the horses do not see it until the moment of competition. A first refusal earns ten penalty points, a second incurs twenty more and a third will eliminate the horse and rider from competition. A fall of the horse and/or rider incurs 30 penalty points. Knocking down an obstacle adds five penalty points. The horse and rider pair that incurres the least amount of penalty points wins their division. There are three different levels of competition offered at the Rolelu Stables Horse Trials. For those people just starting out in eventing, or those with inexperienced horses, there is Pre-Novice. Those more experienced can enter the Novice division. An even more advanced division is Training Level. Each level has a different dressage test. The cross country and stadium courses become increasingly difficult as one advances through the levels. Combined Training has been called the "complete test of a horse and rider" and those who have completed its phases can rightly pride themselves on their accomplishments. Rolelu Stables would like to welcome all to spectate the magnificent show of a horse trials on Aug. 11, 20077. Come and enjoy a great day! |
