Show Jumping in Pony Club Show-Jumping is a very exciting event with riders and their mounts attempting to jump a course set in a ring with the fewest amount of knock-downs, refusals, and run-outs, and of course not falling off. The jumps are often very colorful with a wide variety of flowers, painted jumps, bushes, and other props used to add to the difficulty.
The height of jumps for the Regional Show-Jumping rally are determined by the size of the pony, the skill level of both rider and pony, whether the competitor is attempting to qualify for the Big Sky National Show-Jumping Team. The height of the jumps used to qualify for the Nationals team as of 1991 are listed above according to division. Me height of the jumps in the regional non-q division are set by the region and are usually a few inches shorter than the q height. Show jumping teams are made up of four team members and a Horse Manager. Members of the various teams, coaches and chaperones selected by the DC. At the Regional level, every attempt is made to form a team of members from the same local club. Occasionally, there are not enough pony clubbers participating to form a team within the local club and "scramble" teams are formed of the extra pony clubers from all the local clubs. It is fun to "scramble" with other clubs. It is a great way to make new friends. At the National level, the Regional Supervisor chooses all Regional teams. Teams representing the Region at Nationals are usually the local team or individuals the Regional competition. Membership on all teams is based on the rider's regional rally
