Show jumping is to jump a course with a number of obstacles & specific width.

Show jumping competitions a joy enjoyable in which the rider feels all the pleasure and the results of hard work and training from one competition to another.

It really gives a lot of pleasure & proud to the rider.

Show jumping competitions have a certain ceremony to be implemented

 
Beginning from the day prior the competition hearts begin to beat, the last chance to ride ones horse and getting ready for the competition.
The rider should arrange all the stuff needed for the competition whether his own stuff or horse's tack needed for the competition.
 
Waking up early on the show jumping day to reach the competition location wearing the complete official costume and here begins the ceremony.
 
Opening the arena to walk the course in order to know how to go through with the horse. Hearing very fine and important techniques and comments from the instructor to implement in order to do a good job with minor risks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Riders preview the course by walking it on foot prior to the beginning of the competition. This is the only chance the rider has to study the course “up close and personal.”

After that the rider has to wait for his turn, just a short time before he should warm up his horse by jumping some fences in the warming up arena.

When they call the riders name he has to enter the show jumping arena with his horse. First thing he has to salute the judges then begin his course.

Reaching the finish and hearing the result is the last step in this ceremony.

To win, the rider has to finish his course with no penalties or faults.

Penalties or faults are incurred if a horse knocks down, refuses to jump or falls at an obstacle or jump. Each course has a “time allowed.” In addition to jumping faults, penalties can also accumulate if riders fail to complete the course with a certain speed or “within the time allowed.” Riders and horses must negotiate the course at the correct angle, height, and speed to clear the fences without incurring faults.

Each and every member of the team of Stallion Equestrian Center really enjoys our participation in those competition motivating each of our riders to get us the prize.
 

This picture is showing us how each person is concerned about the course. Starting from the grooms of the horse who are making sure that the tack is proper to the rider revising her course at the door before entering  and the trainer standing close to support his rider.                     Many impressions of deep concentration and details of   care till the last moment.
