Jumping 障碍赛
英文原文
A jumping competition is one
in which the combination of horse and competitor
is tested under various conditions over a course of obstacles.
It is a test intended to demonstrate the horse's freedom,
its energy, its skill, its speed and its obedience in jumping
and the competitor's horsemanship.
If a competitor makes certain faults such as knocking down an obstacle,
refusing, exceeding the time allowed, etc.
he incurs penalties.
The winner of the competition is the competitor
who incurs the least number of penalties,
completes the course in the fastest time
or gains the highest number of points,
depending on the type of competition.
It is not intended to standardise jumping competitions,
since variety provides a precious element of interest for competitors
and spectators alike, which must be preserved at all costs.
