FAQs
What are the rules?
Open to all Thoroughbreds with valid tattoo or papers from The Jockey Club or CTHS. A copy of the papers must be provided to the Horse Show Office. If competitors do not have registration papers, they must provide a letter from a vet confirming their horse’s tattoo number.
Competitors will have a choice in three heights (0.75m, 0.9m, or 1.0m). The Horse/Rider combination must compete at their division height. If that height is not available, they are permitted to compete at the next closest down. There are no restrictions if the Horse/Rider combination wishes to move up in height. The class will be run in an immediate jump off format (FEI Article 238 Table A, 2.2). Winner will receive a Cooler.
Points will be awarded to the top Horse/Rider combinations. These points will go towards the $500 East-West Series Challenge Bonus for the top point Thoroughbred of 2016.
