Riding over droppable obstacles, where jumping ability, speed, agility and reliability as well as best gymnastics of the horses and perfect training of the rider are decisive. The requirements for the various jumping competitions are different and laid down in national or international regulations: height, width, number of obstacles, length of the obstacle course and required speed. As a rule, obstacle drops and the measured time are evaluated. If at least 2 pairs are equal in the normal course, a so-called jump-off on a shortened course with partially increased and widened obstacles may decide.
