Types of show jumping

For the uninitiated, show jumping has many different types of competition.

1. Your route. participants were offered a track with different obstacles with a start and finish. But the participant himself chooses the obstacles as he wishes. The winner is the participant with the best time on the route.
2. Mirror competition. One route is passed by a pair of participants, the worst result is eliminated. And the best result is the race with the next participant in the elimination.
3. Competitions of increasing difficulty. The course can be provided with 6, 8 or 10 obstacles. With each race, the height of the obstacles becomes greater. Players who fail to overcome the obstacle are eliminated from the tournament. sometimes, in order to avoid injury, participants refuse to race, thereby losing. If a competitor has reached the final and the opponent withdraws, the rule is that the remaining competitor must jump.
4. Hunting show jumping. One of the first types of show jumping. In the race, the participants with horses themselves choose in what sequence to overcome the number of obstacles and the height.
5. Competition for style. Points are awarded according to a certain system. This type of competition is very rare, but there are still amateurs.
6. Competitions for a while. there is a time limit set by the organizers. The winner is the rider who gets closer to the time.
7. Classic. The most common type of show jumping, which is used in every tournament. Here you need to show the best time with the number of different obstacles. It is taken into account how cleanly the obstacles are passed, the agility of the horse is highly appreciated.

There are also awards for horses for the entire tournament: the favorite of the race, the grace of the race, the rider of the tournament, the favorite of the race and others.
