DUBARRY BURGHLEY YOUNG EVENT HORSE SERIES

This hugely popular competition has been integral to Burghley Horse Trials for over 30 years
and is still acknowledged as the shop window to view potential ‘four star’ horses at an early
age.
Open to four and five year olds, the aim of the Series is to encourage breeders and trainers
to produce and present the type of young horse which will be considered to be the best
material to make a world class three day event horse.
The judges look for an athletic, loose moving horse with a promising jumping technique and
attitude which, with correct training and production, will develop physically and mentally into
a strong three day eventer.
The winner is that with the highest overall marks from four sections:

Section I          Dressage                                              Marked out of 30
Section II         Jumping
                   up to 0.90m for 4 year olds and                       Marked out of 40
                   up to 1.05m for 5 year olds
Section III        Conformation (12 marks) & Quality (8 marks)           Marked out of 20
Section IV         Suitability & Potential                               1-10 marks

Dressage: each horse performs a simple dressage test to demonstrate obedience,
suppleness and, good elastic and regular gaits. Marks are not awarded for individual
movements.
Jumping: follows immediately after the dressage. Judges are looking for a bold athletic
horse with good technique. A horse should not necessarily be penalised for knocking down
one fence (or even a four year old having one refusal), providing he learns from his mistake.
However, a fall of horse or rider or three cumulative refusals will result in elimination.
Conformation and Quality: assessed in hand. The horses’ build and type should enable
them to withstand the demands of the sport in terms of soundness, speed and stamina.
Suitability and Potential: the top ten highest scoring horses from sections I – III are invited to
come into the Ring to be assessed on potential quality for international competition. The
horses are brought into line in the order that the judge sees their potential. Ten marks will be
awarded to the horse that the judge selects first, 9 to the second, 8 to the third, etc down to 1
mark to the tenth horse. These marks are added to those from the previous 3 sections to
establish the winner
One horse per 15 starters at today’s event will qualify for the Dubarry Burghley Young Event
Horse Finals which take place at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials on Friday, 31 August.

                                 To be followed immediately by:

SECTION II          Jumping. NO time will be allowed between these sections for any adjustment to
                    tack or rider’s dress. Maximum height of fences 0.90m (4 years) 1.05m (5
                    years). Fall of horse or rider or a total of 3 refusals will result in elimination.
                    Note: fence height at Final 1.00m (4 year olds) and 1.10m (5 year olds).

SECTION III         Conformation (12 marks) and Quality (8 marks)
                    Note: following Section III, the ten horses with the highest marks will proceed to
                    section IV. In the event of equality of marks at this stage, the horse with the
                    higher jumping mark will be given precedence. Should this still produce an
                    equality of marks, all horses on that same jumping mark will come forward.

SECTION IV          Suitability and Potential
                    Only the top ten horses are required for this section where they will be judged
                    for potential international quality to make a WORLD CLASS THREE DAY EVENT
                    HORSE. The 5 year old horses will be required to gallop one at a time. The 4
                    year olds will only be required to show a forward moving canter indicating they
                    could learn to gallop with further development and maturity. It is the
                    responsibility of the rider to ensure they present themselves in time for this
                    section which usually takes place 10-15 minutes after the last horse.
                    Note: in the event of equality of marks at the end, i.e. after all four sections, the
                    jumping mark will be given precedence. Should this still produce an equality of
                    marks, the highest mark attained in the final section will be the deciding factor.
