Hey, showing my complete and utter ignorance/stupidity here, but whats the difference between ordinary show-jumping and two-phase?

Deciding which classes to enter next Sunday, what do you think? (We won the 2ft yesterday by 11 seconds

) And she was very tired as her fourth class of the day in the 2ft 3in where we cam 5th out of 27, very hard course but I pushed for a stride that wasn't there and we came out of the jump-off with 4 faults.

Thinking about 2ft 3in - 2ft 6in and 2ft 6in - 2ft 9in? Both 2 phase, so what would the class be like??

2 phase just means that if you jump clear in the first round, you carry straight on to the jump off without leaving the ring or breaking stride.

Sometimes the 1st round will be jumps (eg) 1 to 9 & the j-off will be (eg) 10 to 15, or sometimes the j-off will re-use jumps from the 1st round.

If you have faults in the 1st round, you stop once you've finished the round & leave the arena.

4 classes in one show does wound a bit much - I wouldn't do more than 2 personally.
 
It was alot, but only little jumps and we didn't go to win, just for experience. She's got a couple of days off, only going for two classes this time, and hoping to do well

Thanks! Will get them entered!
 
Two phase means you jump say 1-8 like you would normal first round fasion then the course conitunes as the jump off round, there is timers at this section of the course. I much perfer it as in-out-done no waiting round rewarming up etc etc. Classes tend to go quicker to so allow for that. Often there rossettes to all in second phase *like all in jump off* I personaly would do 2ft for confidence and then 2'3ft then say next show do 2'3ft and the 2'6 and def not 2'9ft till you can jump 2ft, 2'3ft and 2'6ft confidently.
