General Investigations on Obstacle Courses in Romania

Abstract

Show jumping is an equestrian sport event, where each horse-rider couple must run in average about 12-20 obstacles, named a set course, within a specified time. Faults or penalties are collected if the couple brings down the highest element of an obstacle, if the horse refuses to jump or when the allocated time exceeds the allowed seconds. The idea of the jumping events is never to standardize the courses and types of competitions; the variety provides a precious element of interest for competitors and spectators.
