Course structure
On each course, 25 percent of the jumps, at least one steep jump and one oxer, must have the required measurements of the corresponding class.
The total length of a course in meters must in no case exceed the number of jumps multiplied by 60.
Deviations in height of up to +/-5 cm and -10 cm/+20 cm in width are permitted.
If ponies and horses start in a class E-L competition, the combinations can be adjusted: -40 cm for combinations with one canter jump and -60 cm for combinations with two canter jumps.
From S*** jumping with jump-off or winning round in the open air an open water ditch must be built.
Speed and time on the course
Unless otherwise specified in the invitation, the prescribed speed is 300 m/min indoors and 350 m/min outdoors.
