COURSES
Both courses will include the usual elements of JOR - show-jumping and cross country obstacles, a gallop section - and a special trail section. Sunday’s course may be different and will be marked at the conclusion of Saturday’s competition.

 

LEVELS - Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (approx. Introductory to Training in Eventing)

If you are unfamiliar with CCE, we recommend entering a level that is easy so you can focus on learning the fundamentals. You can do an Additional Round at a higher level if you want to ride a higher level course.

A Competitor Guide, updated scheduling information, and other notices will be emailed to entrants in the days before the CCE. This includes all the information you may need to know for the competition. The briefing and course-walk will cover everything in the guide.

Level 5 will be a hybrid course which combines portions of the lower Level 4 course with additional and substitute obstacles consistent with the level entered. The degree to which this course will have Level 5 obstacles will be influenced by the number of entries. Hybrid courses make running a higher level with minimal entries viable for the organizer.

 

ORDER OF GO - lowest to highest level

Enter a level at which you are very comfortable if new to CCE. If entering both JOR competitions, select the level for Saturday. You may change your level for Sunday. You may change level after the course-walk if necessary. Inform the organizer as soon as possible if you want to make any changes.
