Show-Jumping Rules
Like dressage, showjumping is also a very formal event horse breeds like hunters are used and once again, like dressage, it is performed in an arena.
Riders are given a course of jumps (jumping course) and before the event starts, they will walk the course to see how many strides between each jump and to help them memorize the jumps.
English tack is used, mainly an all-purpose saddle or a jumping saddle (for formal events, tack would be black) A hackamore or cavesson bridle are also used. Rides wear white breeches (or beige, cream or tan) a black competition jacket, helmet, gloves and tall riding boots or gaiters. Show-jumpers wear what hunter riders would wear.
Olympic and Grand Prix events have 10 jumps with 2 combinations (refer to 24th march for types of show jumps http://thehorseradishblog.blogspot.com.au/search?updated-max=2014-03-31T23:26:00-07:00&max-results=7&start=14&by-date=false and http://thehorseradishblog.blogspot.com.au/search?updated-max=2014-04-08T15:23:00-07:00&max-results=7&start=7&by-date=false for jumping distance)
and the types of jumps varies from competition.
Penalties-
1st refusal- four faults
2nd refusal- elimination
Horse or rider fall- elimination
Exceeding time limit- 1 point for every second
Foot in water- four faults

Horse Riding Tips
This is a little different from what I usually do but here are 20 horse-riding tips to live by!
1- Never show fear
2- Learn to half halt (it will save you a lot)
3- Heels down!
4- Lean back when going downhill
5- Lean forward when going uphill.
6- Don't give up easily
7- Sit straight
8- Be gentle on the reins, force will never help
9- Don't give up easily
10- Praise your horse if they do something good
11- Look up and ahead
12- Don't get angry
13- Get back on after a fall if you can
14- Head up, eyes up!
15- Check your girth before you get on
16- Measure your stirrups correctly
17- Make sure the reins are joint and not broken
18- Warm up and cool down your horse!!!!
19- When starting to jump, start with a small cross rail
