Showjumping Course designs?

[zoelouisem]

Hiya,

Ive helped organise a low key show at our yard this weekend for a bit of fun.
Were doing some dressage which im judging!!!

Tonight ive got to do 3 course designs for the showjumping, all very low 1'6, 1'9, 2'0. But my mind has gone totally blank, so i though id google it. Can i find any course designs anywhere?? NO!!LOL

If anybody knows of any websites with some basic courses they could point me in that would be great.

Thankyou.

Don't do 3 course designs. Most places just have one and raise the height.

Start off down the long side, half way with a x pole, turn the corner to a little upright, across the middle with a related distance, change the rein to some planks etc etc...finish on a double..

Thankyou, yer i have some rough ideas, ive jumped 1000's of courses but the minute i tried to put it down my mind went blank.
The onky reason i though of 3 is its on grass and its getting a bit wet so though wed be better moving them around a bit?

Lots of figure of eights Typical course.

I once commented at a BS show that the course was the same as the last class but backward to a friend and the coursebuilder overheard me. She laughed and told me that was coursebuilding, except they normally hope nobody notices

If you design it properly you could get them to jump one way round then backwards for the second and then back the other way with maybe a couple of changes to jumps for the third.

Don't get too complicated and move too many jumps for your own benefit - you will want to just get on with it on the day.

If the ground is really bad you can move the jumps say a foot one way or the other just to move the take-off and landing position a bit.

Best of luck - and have fun - oh and thanks for organising an event for everyone else - I know how much effort you have to put in....
