Does anyone know the official BSJA stridings for double and related distances but horses, and also the same for ponies? I can't seem to find it on the BSJA website anywhere.
 
Horses I walk 8 paces for a one strided double and 12 for two.
I also walk 15 paces give or take (depending on the fence before and after) for a three strided distance.

Ponies I walked 7 for one, 11 I think for two. Havnt jumped ponies for years though!
 
I think thats close enough to what I mean!

I am meant to know it in ft in for my degree but I find it easier to pace out as I would walking the course. Obvs the distance is a little longer if coming from a parallel to an upright. :)
