Clear round?

[Ridererror]

Can someone please tell me about clear round. Is it a competition, how does it work Tec and what should one wear to it.

Its is a competition - but only against yourself. If you go clear you get a rosette. They are usually enter at the ringside, you cna have as many goes as you like. Dress tends to be relaxed.

Not at all, many places will relax the rules and allow you to have a few extra attempts at any if you do have a stop and you can usually pay to go back in several times if required to get the clear round, that will depend on numbers and how much time is available.

Not a competition as such. Just a chance to take your horse round a course in competition conditions and you get a rosette if you go clear. Really used for gaining experience for horse and/or rider. I'd generally expect to wear competition clothes, particularly if this is the clear round ring at an actual show. If it is just an arena doing "clear round" and no other classes, it is usually more relaxed about what you wear. You usually pay at the ringside and go straight in and get a rosette straight away if you are clear. You can have as many goes as you want (within reason - they may set a limit for welfare or "hogging the ring and not letting anyone else hava go" reasons). Often they will adjust height of fences etc for you and help if you have trouble eg to lower fence to get horse over etc but venues vary on that, depending how busy they are and how much help there is.

Have fun!. I still have the rosette from my first clear round from when i was about 13 / 14 on my green 13.2 pony

 

[Red-1]

Good luck!

Hope we get a report back on this thread!

Hello! Sorry for the delay! Work has been manic! Well we went clear I was offered either a bag of sweets or a rosette. i unashamedly took the rosette and proudly went pictures of it to be Dad, brother and Boyfriend lol! Already booked our next one and I am hoping to work towards doing a 75cm by the end of the year. I jump 75cm in lessons but jeez of stringing that all together is a different ball game so think I will stick to 65cm for the next few!

Thanks for all the support. I am only doing it for fun (and it was definitely fun) but it still made me nervous!

 

[Highflinger]

Brilliant- well done! Wish I had the courage to do even do a round of cross poles let alone 65cm.

 

[Pippity]

Well done!

 

[Ridererror]

so after 3 clear rounds at 65cm I am moving onto 75cm this week!!!! Eeeek excited but also unjustifiably terrified. 10cm is a tiny difference but looks so huge!

 

[Meredith]

Well done and good luck

 

[greenbean10]

Yay well done! I get nervous even stepping up 5cm! Good luck

 

[Ridererror]

Well We had one pole down in last nights 75cm. So we weren't clear but I am still delighted with that!

 

[Red-1]

Fabulous!

 

[fidleyspromise]

Fab, well done. One pole down is unlucky but still a great result.

 

[Floofball]

Have fun!. I still have the rosette from my first clear round from when i was about 13 / 14 on my green 13.2 pony

So do I!!! Was helping at a livery yard and we hacked ponies over to a show - pony was a very good jumper and the owner let me do the clear round. Was so proud, felt like Marion Mould and Stroller 😂😂😂

 

[thommackintosh]

Ah, that's brilliant. Well done.

 

[Ridererror]

Just a little update of anyone is interested! I got my first clear (and rosette) in the 75cm this week!!!! Woohoo! my first two rounds at 75 I had poles down/ stops but this week we went clear I am so happy.

 

[Meredith]

Well done
