BE abbreviation

[holeymoley]

A friend is about to enquire about a horse seen for sale but has done a bit of research in to it beforehand. It has one eventing record. In the one event it’s had a score in dressage then has the abbreviation ‘A’ at jumping. Nothing for cross country and final result is ‘A’. What does this mean? She will ask when contacting but it’s more frustrating that I can’t work out what it means. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure 'A' means the event was abandoned. Shame it's not listed in the key at the bottom of the page!

Was the event abandoned? Perhaps weather deteriorated during the day. No idea if that’s right or not. Cross posted

Yep, means abandoned. Tell me which event this was I can probably confirm if the event was abandoned part way through.

Abandoned. You could also look up the full results of that event and see at what point it was abandoned.

An event was abandoned at our local after a rider fell and needed an ambulance. The time lost meant they couldn't get the rest of the class through before dark so had to abandon.

Horse and rider both fine.

Same at Larkhill last weekend. Also had one abandoned once during the SJ due to torrential rain.

Thank you, I knew this forum would have the answer! I was racking my brains and frustratingly couldn’t come up with anything. So she has been in contact with the owners and it turns out that there was a rotational fall in the bigger class that was before them so they couldn’t continue. I managed to check on PC instead of phone and the last two classes were all A’s.
