EXPLANATION OF OUR NEW GRASSHOPPER DIVISION
This is for those riders who don't feel ready to go cross county yet, with only two phases, dressage (walk-trot) and stadium jumping at a maximum of 2'0" crossrails.  Perfect for the younger rider who wants to go with her/his older friends, or anyone just starting out or with a brand new/young horse.

EXPLANATION OF OUR MODIFIED DIVISIONS
Modified Beginner Novice:  The Modified Beginner Novice division is a bridge from the Walk-Trot level to the Beginner Novice level.  It offers a walk-trot-canter dressage test at the Beginner Novice level, while the fence height remains at 2¹0".  The stadium jumping course is also a bit more challenging than the Elementary division, while maintaining the jump height at 2'0" maximum.  

Modified Novice: The Modified Novice division is a bridge from Beginner Novice to the Novice level.  It offers a Novice level dressage test while the fence height for cross country remains at 2'7".  The stadium jumping height is at the Novice level of 2'11" maximum. 

For dressage ring layout and copies of the dressage tests used, please see Pipestave Dressage.
