SPECTATOR’S GUIDE HUNTER/JUMPER HORSE SHOWS A hunter/jumper horse show is a three- to five-day event made up of many mini-events that take place in the show rings each day, called Classes. There are three main class categories: Show Jumpers, Hunters, and Equitation. Classes are further subdivided by rider age/experience level, skill of the horse, size or age of the horse or pony, etc, all of which determine what size and type of a fence the horses and riders will jump. GRAND PRIX SHOW JUMPING Jumping is the best known and is also one of the three Olympic equestrian sports, along with Dressage and Eventing. As in all Equestrian sports, men and women compete on equal terms. The Olympic sport of Grand Prix show jumping is the highest and most challenging level of jumping competition. Riders compete over a set course of obstacles as tall as 1.60 meters (5.25 feet) in height. They must clear all of the fences without knocking down a rail and within the time allowed in order to return for the second round, also known as the “jump-off,” and be the fastest with the least faults to win. GUIDE TO SHOW JUMPING SCORING Penalties in show jumping competitions are referred to as “faults.” Knocking down a rail or a pole on a jump is 4 faults, as is putting a foot in the water jump or the first refusal. In all jumper classes, falls and going off-course result in elimination, as does a second refusal. SHOW JUMPING FAULTS AND PENALTIES Knocking over a jump: 4 faults Refusing a jump: 4 faults Two refusals: Eliminated Rider falls off: Eliminated Over the time allowed: 1 fault for every second or portion thereof over the time allowed.

EQUITATION Equitation competition is offered for junior and amateur riders and is judged based on the style and form of the rider. Horses are not judged in this discipline, but successful riders will ensure that their horses are well behaved. Riders can be judged over fences or on the flat. DRESSAGE Dressage is a competitive equestrian sport, defined by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) as “the highest expression of horse training.” The rider will be relaxed and appear effort-free while the horse willingly performs the requested movement. In modern dressage competition, successful training at the various levels is demonstrated through the performance of “tests”, which include a prescribed series of movements ridden within a standard arena. Dressage is considered the most artistic of the equestrian sports and can be traced back centuries. It is the highest expression of horse training. The Freestyle is especially choreographed and performed to music. FEI Fédération Equestre Internationale is based in Lausanne, Switzerland and is the governing body for all Olympic equestrian disciplines. CONCOURS DE SAUT INTERNATIONAL - CSI The ranking system for show jumping. CSI is broken down into a starring system, the higher the prize money the higher number of stars: e.g. CSI 5* prize money over $500,000. CSI-W is a show jumping world cup competition. CONCOURS DE DRESSAGE INTERNATIONAL – CDI The ranking system for dressage with the same starring system as for show jumping.

HUNTERS Hunt seat competitions are based upon elegant traditions arising from the foxhunt. Hunters differ from jumpers because they are judged on the style, movement, and technical proficiency of the horse and rider within the constraints of the set course design. Hunters should display jumping ability, manners, style, an even pace, and quality.

LINDA TINKLER

TRYON EQUESTRIAN

What our clients are saying... “Linda helped us find and buy our perfect home.

We are buyers from out of state and only had 1 day to look at houses. Linda spent the entire day with us showing us many different properties. Linda knows the area extremely well and is very candid about telling you the pros and cons of each property you visit. Once we found the house we wanted Linda helped us negotiate a killer deal and then walked us through all the paperwork. The process was seamless for us and everything was done without any of the usual "home buying" stress. We would definitely refer Linda to anyone looking to buy in the Tryon area. She is a delight to work with.”

“We had a very difficult commercial property to sell in downtown Tryon and had used several real estate agents for over 4 years with zero success. On a friends recommendation we contacted Linda. In 3 months time she put together a plan and got the property sold. We have other properties that we may potentially sell and Linda is always quick to bring us potential buyers. She is detailed oriented and laser focused on making a sale for her client. I highly recommend her.”

“We rented in the Tryon NC area and liked it so

much we decided to find a farm for the two horses. We came to Linda after talking to people about finding someone that is familiar with horse property. Over several months, Linda took lots of notes, responded quickly to emails/texts and took us to see a variety of horse properties. We finally found a small farm and we have lived there for one year -- VERY HAPPY. Thank you Linda for helping us find our farm at an affordable price.”

“Linda sold our Tryon home last year. She walked us calmly through the process, from before she listed it, until every detail of the closing was completed. Linda made some suggestions as to how we could show our home to its best advantage, and quickly had the word out to area realtors that our home was on the market. Linda knows our area, and genuinely cares about her clients. Whenever I learn of someone looking for property in our area, I urge them to contact Linda Tinkler.”
