• JP103.5 (144-10) Schooling – “A C1 Stew- ard, USEF Licensed Jumper Judge or Certifi ed Jumper Schooling Supervisor must be present in the schooling area during any Jumper class off ering $10,000 to $24,999 in prize money.” Also, “Schooling areas for jumpers must con- tain suffi cient equipment to construct at least one vertical, one spread fence and one trotting fence. Standards, jump cups and safety cups must also be made available. Breakaway pins, such as wooden dowels, are permitted when no
safety cups are available.”
• JP121.2 (145-10) Jump Cups – “Standards, jump cups and safety cups must be available for use in all schooling/warm-up rings.” T is rule also repeats what was stated in JP103.5 in that wooden dowels can be used in place of safety cups in warm up areas but are prohibited in competi- tion rings. In the actual competition ring, safety cups must be used where appropriate.
Rule Proposals to Keep an Eye On

Some rules presented at the 2011 USEF Annual Meeting were not rejected, but sim- ply de- ferred for consider- ation at a later time. Most of these proposals are clari- fications to admin- istrative
penalties, general conditions, and stewards and technical delegates. However, one interesting rule change proposal aff ects the Professional/ Amateur Status. Rule proposal 150-10 would aff ect rule
GR1306 Professional/Amateur Status. T e proposed change redefi nes the classifi cation of a professional and lists some exceptions to the amateur classifi cation. Interestingly enough, this rule proposal as of press time is into its fi fth draft. Since the rule falls under the USEF “General” category, it would aff ect all USEF- endorsed disciplines. To read the proposal draft, see T e Equiery’s Hunter and Jumper Blog on
equieriy.com.
Competition Standards T e USEF is planning to add a new section to
the rulebook on December 1, 2011 that would explain a classifi cation system of standards for Hunter and Jumper competitions. T e chapter goes into very specifi c details as to the show application process, standards for competition and warm-up rings, lunging areas, footing, etc. T en there is a section on how a competition is classifi ed as “AA,” “A,” “B,” and “C” as well as unrated “Local” competitions. For a link to the new chapter, go to T e Equi- ery’s Hunter and Jumper Blog.
