Derby Jump Day - Feb Addition

Enjoy a no pressure fun time combining Show Jumping & Cross Country in a realisitic setting. You will jump a SJ course immediately followed by a set XC course. There are some new XC jumps for you to try designed by ESNZ Eventing List 2 Designer Clive Long. A great training activity for the 3 local events coming up in March; Battle Hill, Central Districts, and QE Park Eventing Wellington.

Held at Dragon Equestrian Jump Park, 237 North Manakau Road, Manakau, 5573 (between Levin & Otaki)

Location:

Show Jumping round immediately followed by a full Cross Country course of 20+ jumps including ditches and water. Rounds are untimed, jumps will incur penalties as per ESNZ Express Event scoring.

You can do a SJ round and a XC round at different heights, please just let us know your height requests when you enter below.

Important!!! There is NO break between the SJ & XC rounds. Riders will jump straight out of the SJ arena after the last show jump and onto the XC. Therefore riders need to wear their XC gear and XC horse tack when they do their SJ round as there is no time to make any changes to gear or tack in between the SJ & XC phases, includes back protectors and tagged helments. As this is training activity there will be no placings, however the names of riders with double clear rounds will be posted on our fb page.

Format:

People riding horses and walking near show jumping obstacles in a lush green outdoor equestrian area.
