That's correct. The cross country course usually opens by 3 P.M. the day before so that you can walk it any number of times and plan out what you want to do. I usually walk it about three times so I can memorize it thoroughly.
You must be getting ready to do some cross country, I'll bet.
Please take a look at the Rules for Eventing, Chapter EV, Appendix 2, page 42. You will see a table that lists the maximum height for beginner novice at 2' 7".
wow she just pops over anything! Is it hard to figure out which jump is next? i know they have #'s and colors but i'm starting eventing this year, well we probably wont get on the course til next year but i look at all that and i'm like geeez....so many jumps!
The most difficult part I have for cross country and stadium jumping is memorizing the courses. It does, however, get easier the more you do it. I walk the courses at least 3 times and then I go over and over them in my head until I can see each jump in the order that they come. Works for me. You'll enjoy it a lot, I guarantee.
In American eventing as sanctioned by the United States Eventing Association, the levels start at beginner novice, then novice, training, preliminary, intermediate, and advanced. The height range of beginner novice and novice is the same, but beginner will be set to the lower range and novice will be set toward maximum. Also the complexity of the jumps will increase at novice level.
My horse thanks you for the compliment. She's a good girl to ride. You look like you're doing very well on your horse too and I can tell you've been riding a while.
You may see me there then. I'm planning on doing the novice course there this year.
The footing is all grass and is very good as long as it doesn't rain too much, of course. We go there because we like the somewhat hilly terrain they have rather than just all flat stuff. When I did BN there, we had a long hill to run down, a water complex, and then back up the long hill. The stadium course was set on slightly hilly grassy terrain too. It was all good.
Thanks for the compliment. My horse's name is Emmie and she's an 11 year old Appendix Quarter Horse. She does a good job when ridden correctly and in fact we're moving up a notch to novice level for this coming season.
Sounds like you have a lot of work to do to get into eventing, but it's worth the effort. Once you get out on a course you'll have a lot of fun. I know I do! Good luck.
That's because it was a lot of fun. They had the course set up nicely and we had a good time. Too bad you couldn't make it, but it would have been a little tough with a broken arm!
Really good!

@HorseaHolicChick Thanks a lot. We're doing some training level stuff now too, so we've moved up a bit. This was a fun show, though.

Was this a day when they just had cross country? Or was it a full event with stadium and dressage too?
sierra842 1 year ago
@sierra842 This was a complete, sanctioned show, so they had all three tests. It was a good time with some fun terrain to deal with too.

@JazperIsMyHorse Intro isn't a recognized category though, that's just one some events put in for small ponies or green people.

If you look at page 42 of Rules for Eventing from the USEA, you will see that beginner novice max height is 2' 7". I had to look it up too.

Hows the course/footing there? I'm in Area IX and thinking of going there to do a novice.
