Riding

The athletes ride horses over 12 show-jumping obstacles of up to 120 cm in height. Athletes pick their horses by lot and have 20 minutes for warm-up and to get to know the horse. A faultless ride within a standard time will give 1200 points. The total score is then reduced, for example for knockdowns, falling off and for each second over the standard time. See the point calculation page for more information.
