Why is it that the eventing rules specify the maximum height of a drop into water for each grade but nothing about the jump up out of water? Is it the same as the jump in?
Also, can you have a jump on top of the bank going out of the water like you can have on a bank going in? (If I knew how to post a picture I'd show you an example.)
Thanks
Linda

A jump going out, if it is up, is covered under the maximum height of a jump.
Drops are limited as per the rules.
You can have a jump on a bank going out, but it can't be a 'bounce' distance for the lower grades.

Thanks Vicki - just to make sure I've got this right, at Intro it is OK to have bank (max 80cm) then 1 stride then a jump, and it is OK to have bank and jump all in one (maximum height 80cm), but not OK to have a bank then a bounce then a jump.

Linda, I think you are technically correct, but I doubt that anyone would think a jump one stride from a bank out of water would be a fair call for Introductory.
At Intro Course Designers are happy to get thei horse in and out of water confidently.

Do you mean it is better to have more than one stride? What I am really interested in is a jump right on the bank (like you often have going into the water). I was quite surprised to see one at an event, as I have never seen one before.

The whole jump out of the water can not be over 80cms...that is a measurement taken from the base of the water and over the jump on the bank if it is all taken as 1 obstacle.
Personally, I don't think this would create a positive feel for any Intro horse.
