TR1 – Trail

Track

The test is conducted in a suitable area. No element should have such hazard to cause danger to horse or rider. A test should have at least 5 elements.

Start

Only one horse at the start at a time. Up to three horses are allowed in the track at the time.

Judging

The judges use a scale of marks from 0.0 to 10.0 (inclusive), with half points for each required section. The final mark is the arrhythmic mean of all sections. All final marks are rounded to one decimal following the common arrhythmic rules.
