Meadowvale Farm

Meadowvale hosted two Radical Jumper competitions in 2009 (August 20th and October 4th). Check back in 2010 for news regarding future Radical Jumpers at Meadowvale!

Class list & order of go:

1) Novice (Max height 2'3") - Radical Jumper course
2) Novice 2'3" (Max height 2'3") - Cross Country equitation
3) Pre-Entry - (Max height 2'6") - Radical Jumper
4) Pre-Entry - (Max height 2'6") - Cross Country equitation
5) Entry - (Max height 2'9") - Radical Jumper
6) Entry (Max height 2’9”) – Cross country equitation
7) Pre-Training - (Max height 3'0") - Radical Jumper
8) Pre-Training – (Max height 3’0”) – Cross country Equitation
9) Training (Max height 3'3") - Radical Jumper

Riders may enter the Radical Jumper classes more than once - but only
one round is allowed for the Equitation class.  The Cross country equitation classis will be similar but different from the Radical Jumper course. 

The purpose of the cross country equitation is to encourage riders to ride the courses safely and properly. Riders will be evaluated on the following: balance and pace to the jumps, accuracy at the fence & position over the fence, position and balance on landing, riders will also be evaluated for their position between fences. We are looking for a round where riders are properly setting up for the jump, achieving a balanced and correct jump, landing in balance with the horse, and allowing the horse to move freely between the jumps that a far apart. 

PRIZES!! Horse world has generously donated store gift certificates that will awarded to the winners of each class!

Courses are designed to be appropriate for the level. Our goal is to provide inviting courses to give both the horse and rider confidence while posing the same types of challenges that would be faced on a cross country course at an event.

At the Novice, Pre-Entry and Entry levels, the jumps are basic questions with inviting designs, and courses will include no combinations. The Pre-training and Training levels will be more challenging and will make use of our water complex, bank complex, and ditch jump. The courses are meant as an opportunity to ride the types of obstacles that would be presented at the equivalent level in an event.
