On completion of our annual FEHL Finals the Organisers habitually debrief the foreign Judges to ascertain their views. This is a most useful exercise and continues to contribute to the refinement and improvement of our programme. Glaring deficiencies have been identified in the basic training of many entries. To address these points, it has now been decided to reward competitors who demonstrate evidence of correct training methods. Horses demonstrating the following will gain extra marks in each phase:
It therefore follows that riders demonstrating "hand over leg" riding will lose marks, while those exhibiting "leg to hand" aids will gain valuable marks. In
all phases horses will be rewarded for presenting an outline appropriate
to their age, rather than presenting a contrived outline. The Riding Test
is an exhibition of basic training and a preliminary to subsequent dressage
performances. Similarly in the Jumping Test, the horses will be assessed
within the appropriate outline for their age group on their style, courage,
balance and rhythm. See accompanying sketches. |
