Can anyone name the class in show jumping where the degree of difficulty of the jump earns you the most points???and you have your choice of which jumps to jump to accrue the most points in said class???

Name the class in show jumping that is not only held outside, but includes jumps such as The Bank,The Grob,Double Ditches and your every day Water jump????

Where was The World Cup held this Year??????

Hi Deli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

I have a couple of answers for you...

I do believe that Foxhounds are used in Foxhunting.

Are these the poles you are talking about
CAVALETTI (Italian) meaning ground bars or rails standing firm on low stands. Schooling over cavalletti is important for both horse and rider. Using cavaletti you can work at the walk, trot or canter without worrying about plain poles and rails that move very easily when touched and can be dangerous as they roll away.

I will take a guess at this one, is it Cross Country?

Hey Deli go check out Dog General, I just posted some new pics (from Easter) that you will like.:)

Good Guess, Vermontcat.....
However, when you combine a cross country course (Grob,Bank,Double Ditches) with a stadium course,Water Jump...
You get what is known as a "Derby".....

The Rhode Island Jumping Derby...held Labor Day weekend at Glen Farm,Portsmouth,Rhode Island.....

The Derby at Hickstead...(10'6" Bank!!!:eek: ) are the two best examples....

I will now check out Dog General...Gotta see 'em pics!!!!!!

Gee Delidog, the only Derby I knew of was the "Kentucky Derby.";)

That would be a Racing issue!!!!
I wonder if there is a hickstead.com????

Speaking of the Kentucky Derby...
How many years has it been run?
What is the time and date of the start of the 2003 Kentucky Derby?:)
Delidog, I found a link in case you don't know.;)

There is a Hickstead....Take a look at that Bank!!!!!
As I said....It is a 10'6" Bank...there are none larger!!!!
Good website....lots of info....
I'm Learning,Vermontcat!!!;) :) :D

Hey Delidog, we were posting at the same time.
I found the link to Hickstead, check out this photo!:eek:

You should poke around the Kentucky Derby site, it will answer the two questions I just asked in my post before this one.:)

Last year was the 128th anniversary of the Kentucky Derby. I have a t-shirt for it, I got it last spring break in Kentucky. :D

Yup YLL, so this year is number 129! That is a lot of years of racing!
So do you know the date and time of this year's Derby? It is coming up soon!
I am still waiting to see some new horse photos from you of the Kentucky Horse Park trip.;)
(I loved the cone and rattie pics you and your mom already posted, how about some horse pics?)

LOL, I will post some pictures tomorrow or this weekend. I can't tonight...it is getting late- I have to go to bed soon. Don't worry, they will come. lol. ;) :D

Bump for more questions?
