Team Format
Team horses must be presented by two Trainers: one for the test and one for the demonstration ride. One Trainer will present the horse in the Finale.
Finale Format
The five top-scoring horses will perform a five-minute demonstration ride as described above to music during the Finale. If Trainers do not select music, the announcer will do so. Music and time will start upon entering the arena and saluting to the judges.
Scoring
Tests (100 points)
Both tests are scored using USEF/WDAA scoresheets, awarding a percentage score of maximum possible points.
Demonstration Ride (60 points)
The demonstration ride will be judged with scores in the following six categories on a scale of 0 to 10:
a) Rhythm (10 points)
b) Relaxation (10 points)
c) Connection (10 points)
d) Impulsion (10 points)
e) Straightness (10 points)
f) Level of Development (10 points)
Placings 6th and below will be determined by the sum of Preliminary scores. Placings 1st-5th will add an additional Finale score to their Pre- liminary score to determine final placings.
Finale (60 points)
The Finale demonstration ride will be scored by two judges in the same manner as the demonstration ride, with a maximum achievable score of 60. Scores from the two judges will be averaged.
Eliminations
Horses will receive No Score for stepping out of the arena with all four feet at any point during the test or demonstration ride, for going off course more than three times during the test, for taking more than 45 seconds to enter the arena, or for a fall of horse or rider. Trainers may complete any remaining phases of the test for a score at the discretion of the judges.
