The goal is to complete the course in the fastest time without getting any faults.<\/p>\n<p>Faults are gained when a fence is knocked down, the horse stops at a fence (refuse) or the horse runs around a fence (run out).<\/p>\n<p>Show Jumping can take place both indoors and outdoors, so is perfect to enjoy all year round.<\/p>\n<p>Intended to demonstrate the horse and rider\u2019s courage, athletic ability, precision, speed and partnership, your aim is to jump a clear round. If you manage to jump clear, you will go through to the second stage which is called a \u201cjump-off\u201d. A jump-off is a shortened course which is timed. The winner is the horse and rider with the least faults and the fastest time in the jump-off.<\/p>\n<p>Inter branch and individual show jumping competitions are held at all levels but are not at Championship level until PC70.\u00a0 There are Area qualifying team and individual competitions, held usually in July, from 70cm through to 110cm. The PC70 and PC80 qualify for the Regional Championships at the end of August and PC90, PC100 and PC110 qualify for the national Pony Club Championships in mid-August.\u00a0 In addition, The Pony Club Spring Festival, with area qualifiers held in the winter months, offer classes for PC80, PC90, PC100 and PC110.<\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"content-left-right py-5\">\r\n    <div class=\"container py-md-4\">\r\n        \r\n                <div class=\"row align-items-center flex-row-reverse\">\r\n                    <div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n                        <div class=\"content-image\">\r\n                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/northwarwickshire\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/461\/2024\/03\/238790814_10226001415000445_1818157463067317057_n.jpg\" class=\"card-img-mobile\" alt=\"\"\/>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                    <div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n                        <div class=\"content-description-left\">\r\n                            <h2><strong>What to wear at competitions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Jodhpurs\/Breeches \u2013 white, cream, beige, dark or muted colours may be worn.

     <h2><strong>Training:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The training pathway for a rider in show jumping parallels that of the horse\/pony, starting with fundamental skills and gradually progressing to more advanced levels.\u00a0 NWPC offers a development pathway, starting with poles for our very youngest members, through to those competing at PC110 level.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst our pathway aims to train members to compete through these levels, we also want our members to make use of the training to learn basic jumping skills, valuable for Pony Club tests, even if they have no desire to compete.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2276 size-full\"

Steps we will work on foundational skills such as balanced seat and basic flatwork mastering basic riding skills such as steering, stopping and controlling the pony\u2019s speed.\u00a0 They will be introduced to the jumping position to stay balanced over small fences and then progress to jumping small courses.<\/p>\n<p>At Grasshoppers this work will be continued, developing better rhythm and balance and moving on to jumping full courses and learning jump off skills.<\/p>\n<p>At Grassroots and above their skills as show jumpers are fine-tuned, developing their feel and timing with increased complexity of exercises.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the training pathway, riders should understand that progress takes time and dedication.<\/p>\n<p>As a branch we work closely with coaches and use feedback to gauge whether a combination is ready to move up to the next level.\u00a0 When a rider has a new pony\/horse, sometimes it is necessary to drop back a step to gain confidence and trust, this is actively encouraged in order to build a solid foundation.\u00a0 If you have any questions please contact the relevant pathway coordinator.<\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\r\n
