So I am looking at doing some combined training. There are a few offered around here but they seem to do a choice of test and I wondered how the scoring would work.
So class 2 offers the choice of an intro, prelim, novice or ele test with jumps at 65cm. Then a class with the same test options but jumps at 75cm.
Do all the score go along each other. If the scores are marked alongside, does that not give the people who choose the easier test an advantage. If I chooe a prelim, assuming an average outing, I would get a certain score. If I chose a novice test, score would be much lower.
They are also trailblazers qualifiers so if you want to go down that route you have to combine the 65cm/prelim and 75cm/novice which is optional but raises its own problems with a horse that jumps consistently at 75am but is nowhere near novice level for dressage.
This format seems to be quite common round here in combined training classes but none explain on the schedule how you mark different tests alongside each other.
