Shwjumpers - Success Rates / Statistics

[Rambo]

So, the eventers get it all done for them by BE...but what about Showjumpers

I was interested to see how my two horses had done this year...warts 'n' all...so I sat down and calculated all the shows i've been to since the 1st Jan 2008 (i'm busy at work...can you tell.

).

Sooo...

Bo
==
Total classes contested = 24
Placings gained = 9
First round clears jumped = 13
Double clears = 6
Eliminations = 4
Falls = 2
Actual winnings = £163
Notional winnings = £70
Overal success rate = 37.5%

Trike
=====
Total classes contested = 14
Placings gained = 5
First round clears jumped = 11
Double clears = 8
Eliminations = 1
Falls = 0
Actual winnings = £92
Notional winnings = £48
Overal success rate = 35.7%

In total jumped on 15 separate days and got placed on 8 separate days

Overall i'm pretty pleased with that. Trike is treated slightly differently to Bo as he's not as established so tends to be aimed at DC's more than chasing placings which is reflected in his relatively clean jumping history. Bo does tend to get pushed against the clock and I think you can see that in the apparent lack of DC's but slightly higher overall success rate

How does everyone else perceive their / their horses success rates ?

hmm this is easy for this year

Bo
==
Total classes contested = 2
Placings gained = 1
First round clears jumped = 2
Double clears = 1
Eliminations = 0
Falls = 0
Overal success rate = 50%

Other class would have gone clear in JO if it wasn't for muppet rider as I tried a turn I really shouldn't have LOL

 

[catembi]

H'mm, don't think I'd want to work this out for me & A cos I'd just get depressed.

For instance, when we were on hol for 2 weeks, we went to 4 comps & entered 2 classes in each, mixture of BN, 95 cm & disco. Jumped 1 DC & would have been 5th but muppet horse managed to jump an extra jump.

The rest were mostly 4 faults, a couple of 8s & a 12.

So out of prob 8 classes, that's... zero DCs, zero actual, zero notional, and a success rate of... zero%!!!

(On the plus side, no falls or elims & we've edged up to disco from BN.)

Hope you don't mind lowly unaffiliated people joining in, although I only ever do decent unaffiliated and have jumped at 4 championships so far this year... so Ive worked this one out.... liking my horse's statistics, but he is ex BSJA and knows a lot more than me about showjumping, so I just steer and can't take any credit! This includes all shows from February.

==
Total classes contested = 40
Placings gained = 36
First round clears jumped = 31
Double clears = 29
Eliminations = 0
Falls = 0
Overal success rate = 90%

I have won £110 along the way as well, if you pick the right unaffiliated comps you can get some decent winnings!

However if you include XC we have done 4, been eliminated in 2 (he doesnt like water!!), came 5th in one and won the other one (no water jumps!!) so only a 50% in that!

 

[hotellie]

well if i include my times i have been on a ticket as well as since i have joined
Total classes contested = 4
Placings gained = 0
First round clears jumped = 1
Double clears = 0
Eliminations = 0
Falls = 0
Actual winnings = £0
Notional winnings = £0
Overal success rate = 0%

now everyone can feel far better as my success rate is 0...dont worry my success rate is a lot better eventing

That's a pretty impressive set of stats ! Why don't you affiliate ?

 

[Gamebird]

Not sure of mine as I've lost count. Can I get a prize for winning £20 in a NC with one down in the first round. Only 2 clears and 14 entries so they had to pay to 3rd place. I was the lucky person who jumped the quickest 4 faults in the 1st round.

I have ridiculously more Actual than Notional prize winnings as I'm not very good at DC's but often get placed.

 

[ann-jen]

Total classes contested = 13
Places gained = 6
First round double clears = 7
Double clears = 4 (should be 5 but numpty missed a jump out in JO!)
Eliminations = 1 (when discovered Jen's PSD)
Falls = 0
Actual winnings = £40
Notional winnings = £16
Overall success rate = 46%
Overall I was very pleased wth the way she was going and she was becoming more consistant with the DCs. I can't believe a couple of months ago we were planning our first discovery and thinking of having a crack at a few intros BE. So now we've got 6 jump free months ahead and will be pretending to be dressage peeps over the winter and then will be starting from the very beginning again in February. The whole of the indoor season out the window.

I'm not sure how long it will take to get her up and running again after her time off but hopefully we should be back BSJAing by summer.

 

[hedgehog1]

Ok, my brain could manage it for my youngster as she hasnt done that much -
Total classes contested - 20
Places gained - 11
Double clears - 15
Eliminations - 1 (forgot how to take off)
Falls - 0 (still waiting!!)
Actual winnings £94
Notional £50
Sucess rate - double clears = success so, 75%. but in reality, all her mistakes have been due to rider error so i cant complain!

now I am using the printout to help its a bit easier! So my newly upgraded grade b
Classes contested 30 (had the start of the season off)
Places gained 21
Double clears 19
Eliminations - 0 - she is saint
Falls - 0 - again - saint!
Actual winnings £1545
Notional - £420
Success rate - lots of fun and prizes, Ive improved, horse has improved, so I'm happy -

Rambo this is a good idea!

 

[JenniferB]

This is a bit depressing when you see how many classes you've jumped and spent entry fees on compared to winnings lol!

Classes jumped 38
Places 14
First round clears 21
Double clears 11
Elim 2 elims, 2 retirals
Falls 2
Actual £251 (still 1 show to add)
Notional £122 (as above)

We had a pretty slow start to the season as we were mega busy at the yard with point to pointers but we've had a pretty good run all summer hence the loads of classes! Not sure what my percentage is (it's early, I'm at work and I've had all of three hours sleep - who ever said hot tub parties at 2am were sensible...) but not that great I suspect ha ha!

 

[SpottedCat]

Oh mine is pitiful! I refuse to work it out! On the plus side, one of the reasons it is so pitiful is that I spent most of the winter jumping 1.05 opens and going clear, but not fast enough to be within any useful distance of a placing and therefore money. In a year of doing BSJA my horse has managed to win £16 actual and £0 notional - thankgod I got the RC discount for membership hey?!!

Do you mean your Grade B has won £1545 in the 21 placings listed above !? That's a pretty good return if she has...an average of about £70 per placing

 

[ann-jen]

Its interesting to me that I don't seem to have done that many classes over the year compared to some (I've done my results from January to present day rather than september to september so that might be why) I usually only do 1 class or tops 2 classes per show whereas I guess some of you must do a few classes at each outing? At my yard I compete far more than anyone else there - out 2 weekends out of 3 - although some of these are dressage not SJ (maybe 2 SJ a month and 1 dressage and 1 week off or the other way round depending on whats on) - but I'm nowhere near some of the other on here. It makes me feel a bit better as sometimes I'm made to feel I do too much with Jenny - although she is incredibly fit and hence not taking too well to her new life as a lady of leisure/hack.

 

[Ahrena]

Okay well I'm only tiny unaff butt I wanna do it xD

Willow -
Total classes contested = 18
Placings gained = 7
First round clears jumped = 9
Double clears = 6
Eliminations = 4
Falls = 1
Overal success rate = About 33% offically I suppose. BUT to me SO much, as she's not supposed to be alive let alone SJing, and to think shes won 3 classes this year, maybe not a lot to some..but she's not really a gifted jumper and very spooky. Makes me want to cry. xD With happiness.

And Lacey
Total classes contested = 14
Placings gained = 8
First round clears jumped = 11
Double clears = 10
Eliminations = 1
Falls = 0
Overal success rate = very high as anything other than a big fat E = me being very very happy as this time last year she got eliminated at the first jump every time out.

 

[JCWHITE]

Very interesting. Now I a member of the French federation, I see most of the info like the above on the Computer, and can also check any given rider and horse on line. The bit that gets me is, How much my entries have cost, AND HOW MUCH I HAVE WON!!!!One figure is always way higher than the other, still its for enjoyment I tell myself!

Haha....too true !

In three years of competing Bo, i've not even won one months livery back in total....let alone my entry fees / diesel / affiliation fees / saddlers bill / farrier bill / lorry mot / vets bills / tack bills / my clothing bill...the list goes on

I had an amazing weekend last weekend....contesting five classes and being placed in every single one of them...and top 3 in three of them.....and i still didn't cover the cost of the stabling for the night

We do it for fun that's for sure....and the outside chance that one day we'll find a horse that sells for mega bucks and covers the costs of all the others...

 

[mystiandsunny]

Just starting out with pony - but so far:
classes competed in: 3
Placings: 3

 

[hedgehog1]

yes rambo, shes jumping 1.30ish classes with decent money - we do tend to pick the classes carefully, and is usually first or second as shes pretty quick. Unless the rider messes it up!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks.... but I dont affiliate because of a few things - Cant afford it, my horse is in NC / Foxhunters and Im no where near that level and he has a limit (hes only 15.2hh), and I bought him to do unaffiliated and get my confidence back after the mare I had last year. He has also had an injury in the past and I don't want to push it. He is doing his job well! Had 3 red rosettes out of 3 yesterday, his consistency amazes me. But then he probably thinks the 3-3'3 courses I do are a walk in the park after what he's done at BSJA.

 

[Rambo]

Bo is well out of Foxhunter and on his way to Grade B...and I don't jump huge classes with him. There are so many 'open' and 'amateur' classes around the 1m level you wouldn't be short of classes to jump...and could win some decent money too
