Table A4 Show Jumping – Class Description

Table A4 is a popular show jumping class format that tests both accuracy and speed. In this class, each competitor completes one round against the clock. All faults incurred (such as knockdowns, refusals, or time penalties) are added to the total time, and the competitor with the fastest time and fewest faults is the winner.

This format encourages bold, efficient riding while rewarding those who can balance speed with precision. It's an exciting and competitive class that often produces thrilling rounds and close results!

🔹 Faults are converted into time penalties
🔹 No jump-off – it's one round, best time wins
🔹 Ideal for riders who want to push for speed without sacrificing control
