Eventing

Eventing Rules

Dressage Scoring

Each movement in dressage phase is scored on a scale of 0 to 10 by a panel of judges. The marks of all the movements performed are added together and any errors of course deducted and thenconverted into a percentage to determine the winner.

Penalties And Elimination In Cross-Country

The following are described as under:-

• Crossing the finish line after the maximum time results in penalties
• For disobedience faults, penalties are added to the dressage score. After three disobediences at one fence or after four disobediences altogether, the pair is eliminated.
• Going off the course also results in elimination such as for missing a fence
• If the rider falls off the course, the pair is eliminated.

Show Jumping Scoring

This phase of eventing is also timed and penalties are given for every second over the required time and for disobediences, falls, touches and knockdowns of the obstacles.
