We
have 365 horses competing, so it is essential that riders arrive for each phase
on time. If you are late, you may be
eliminated.
To
be conducted in the lane adjacent to the tree line, near the gate to the
dressage arenas. The horse inspection
will commence at 08.30 am with CIC1*, followed at about 09:45 am by CIC2* and
3*. Riders with two or more horses in
CIC1* or in the CIC2*/CIC3* respectively can trot these consecutively.
Please
note that there is a separate ground jury for 1* so CIC1* horses will have to
present first. Correct horse papers must accompany the horse.
If
riders are committed elsewhere, horses may be presented by a groom. However, both horse and attendant should be
neatly presented and safe footwear must be worn. Experience at other CICs held
this year under the new FEI Rules show that horses are often not sufficiently
warmed up after arrival, prior to presentation at the Trot Up
and this is the commonest reason
for not being passed at first presentation.
DRESSAGE:
Times as per draw. Please
note that there is no Gear Steward for the Dressage phase. Bridle numbers must
be worn. Riders do not need to introduce themselves to the judge. As soon as
the previous rider has finished, please ride around the outside of the arena a
couple of times then circle near the entrance to the arena. The judge will toot
the car horn to give you the signal to enter.
SHOWJUMPING:
Times as per draw. JUMPING
WILL BE STRICTLY BY DRAWN ORDER. Be prepared to move up if there is a
scratching or a non-arrival before you. There will be announcements if a Showjumping Arena
is running significantly earlier or later than published times. Riders with
multiple horses who find a conflict between a Dressage
time and a Showjumping time, must keep to the published Dressage time
and Showjump as soon as possible after their drawn Showjumping time. Course
walks will be held immediately before classes commence, and additionally as
shown on the draw.
Please
note that there will be no extra Show Jumping course walks. The courses will be
open 30 minutes the commencement of jumping.
Riders have the responsibility for ensuring that they walk the course
before the class begins. Please note that the later classes to Showjump may be
ahead of schedule … keep an eye on the SJ arenas and
be prepared to move up. Don't assume that it will be as late as the draw.
CROSS COUNTRY:
The
Cross Country will commence at 8 am Sunday commencing with No. 1 and continuing
in strict numerical order at 1 minute intervals for all classes up to CIC*, and
2 minute intervals for CIC2* & 3*. There will be a 5 -15 minute break
between classes, to allow repositioning of jump stewards. It is the
responsibility of riders with multiple horses to have sufficient gear and
assistance to be ready to start on schedule. Any rider, who is called to the
Start in correct order and is not ready, will be taken to have started at the
scheduled time. The start will often run ahead of schedule.
