The Challenge
The UK Chasers competition is unique to UK Chasers & Riders, designed to test the cross country skills, control and judgement of both horse and rider.It is open to every rider at every level and is non competitive in the sense that it is not the fastest horse that wins so it gives everyone a fair chance.
The Competition involves.
- Classes
- Class 1 - 2' 6" Pairs
- Class 2 - 2' 6" Novice
- Class 3 - 3' Open
- Other Sections
- Walking Section - 250 metres
- Gate section - Open and shut a gate
- Show jumping - no more than 6 show jumps
The whole competition is timed, penalties will incur for refusals or omitting fences, dislodged show jumps, breaking out of walk in the walk section or omitting to close the gate. NO rider will be eliminated but could be asked to move onto the next obstacle. THE CATCH!!!!! There will be a bogey time already sealed in an envelope and the winner is the nearest to the time!
The time will be set at a sensible pace to allow time for obstacles and distance to be covered safely - the speed of travel will be between 238 and 277 metres per minute.
For the serious people - Full details of course length and all the compulsory elements will be available on arrival. Entrants must then use their skill and judgement allowing for ground conditions etc. to assess the bogey time!
For the fun people - Just have a go and enjoy it!
