Turnout is a class in which entries are judged primarily on performance and quality of each turnout. Fault Obstacle is a precision driving test in which each entry must complete driving through an obstacle course within a prescribed amount of time in a defined order. Gamblers Choice is a variation on the obstacle course in which each entry must drive through a variety of obstacles within a prescribed time period, but may choose any route they wish. Each obstacle is assigned a point value based on the difficulty of the obstacle and each entry tries to amass the greatest number of points by choosing the most difficult route. Each phase is designed to test specific attributes.
Dressage tests the submission of the horse to the rider, flexibility, precision and control.
The stadium jumping phase test the responsiveness of the horse to the rider, following the exhilaration of the cross country phase, as well as its precision and agility at jumping a course of jumps within a defined arena. The horse is judged on style and hunting soundness. The scores from all three classes are totaled to determine division placings. In jumper classes penalty points are assessed for every jump lowered or for exceeding the maximum time allowed. The types of jumps are different from the hunter style and make use of coloured poles, more difficult combinations of jumps and pre-defined striding between the jumps.
