Pairs cross country. The course will be quite short, with the fences having various height options so that all pairs can be catered for. There will be three “dressing fences” that the two horses must jump as a pair (i.e., side by side). Points will be given for these fences, and penalties will be deducted for refusals and falls. There will also be an optimum time. The height of the dressing jump is 60cm maximum.
Fancy dress is encouraged for the pairs, and there will be a prize for the best fancy-dressed pair (sponsored by Govern Images). However, please note that this competition is to be run under the relevant EA rules. In particular, it is the responsibility of each competitor to ensure that they wear the correct safety helmet and body protector.
The proposed timetable is:
| Class | Time |
| Pairs | 9-940 |
| 65 | 10-11 |
| 80 | 11-12 |
| 95 | 12-1230 |
| 1* | 1230-1 |
