cross-country equestrianism

Cross-country task

Record whether the intended task is cross-country obstacle riding and whether the occurrence is a phase, standalone test, or practice session.

1. What prescribed terrain and obstacle-negotiation task identifies this as cross-country equestrianism? definition
2. Does this occurrence belong to an eventing competition, a standalone competition, or schooling? boundary

Applicable test specification

Associate the declared class and occurrence with a rules edition, schedule, and issuing authority.

1. Which authority, rules edition, class specification, and local amendments govern this test? provenance
2. What date, local time zone, and actual start and finish evidence delimit this session or attempt? measurement
3. Which requirements change if this is schooling rather than a judged test? boundary

Entry and qualification

Separate horse requirements, rider requirements, and any requirements that must be met together.

1. Which horse and rider are entered, and what evidence confirms their identities? provenance
2. Which qualifications must each possess individually, and which must this combination have achieved together? boundary
3. Who has authority to confirm eligibility or reject the start? action

Readiness evidence

Record relevant obstacle experience, conditioning evidence, equipment checks, and unresolved preparation concerns without inferring fitness from entry acceptance.

1. What recent evidence supports this combination's preparation for the distance, terrain, water, and technical combinations presented? provenance
2. Which required tack and rider protective-equipment checks have been completed, by whom? provenance
3. What unresolved readiness concern requires assessment before this combination starts? action

Course traversal

Distinguish the official route specification from a rider's planned and actual path.

1. Where are the start, finish, compulsory passages, and ordered obstacles on the current approved course? definition
2. What measured distance, gradients, turns, and footing transitions affect effort and approach control? measurement
3. Which course revision was inspected and communicated to this rider? provenance

Technical obstacle task

Record obstacle geometry, approach and landing conditions, element relationships, and any specified deformable or frangible components.

1. What dimensions, profiles, water conditions, and approach or landing constraints define each jumping effort? measurement
2. Which numbered or lettered elements form one obstacle, and which alternatives constitute a permitted completion? boundary
3. What inspection evidence establishes the obstacle and any safety mechanism as ready for use? provenance

Timed progress

Preserve starts, finishes, progress observations, and authorised interruptions before deriving a timing result.

1. What prescribed speed, optimum time, time limit, and any too-fast provisions apply to this class? measurement
2. What raw start, finish, hold, and restart records establish the effective elapsed time? provenance
3. Which timing adjustments were authorised, and under which rule? provenance

Incident adjudication

Capture obstacle completion, alleged refusals or run-outs, falls, route errors, and mechanism activations without treating every observation as an automatic penalty.

1. What was observed at the identified obstacle or element, and which official, recording, or witness supports it? provenance
2. How does the applicable rule classify the observation, including any disputed flag passage or alternative route? boundary
3. Who may issue, review, or amend the resulting decision? action

Phase result

Record completion status and itemised penalties while preserving whether the result is provisional, contested, or confirmed.

1. Did the combination complete, retire, withdraw, or receive elimination, and what decision establishes that status? provenance
2. How are the obstacle, time, and other penalties derived under the identified rules edition? measurement
3. What cross-country result may be passed to the parent eventing model, and with what confirmation status? action

Course condition response

Associate deterioration, obstruction, damaged obstacles, or response activity with time-specific course restrictions.

1. What current observations identify compromised footing, visibility, obstacles, or access for responders? provenance
2. Which section and combinations are affected, and from what time? boundary
3. Who may hold starts, stop combinations, modify the course, or authorise reopening? action

Welfare intervention

Record observed distress, fatigue, injury concerns, or dangerous riding together with the authorised response and follow-up status.

1. What horse or rider signs were observed, at what point in the attempt, and by whom? provenance
2. Which applicable rule or qualified assessment requires stopping, examination, or exclusion from further participation? action
3. What post-attempt assessment or clearance remains outstanding before any subsequent participation? action
