Could anyone help me by telling me the eventing grades (from bottom to top) with names and hights in their area/country. I am struggling to get ahold of any that aren’t Australian.
Thanks
United States:
Beginner Novice 2’7 (.79m)
Novice 2’11 (.90m)
Training 3’3 (1.0m)
Preliminary 3’7 (1.10m)
Intermediate 3’9 (1.15m)
Advanced 3’11 (1.20m)
ETA: these are the USEF recognized levels-- it’s common to see “starter” levels labelled as Introductory/ Elementary/ Starter etc. which are Below Beginner Novice and jump 18"- 2’3. These are not recognized and the specifications vary a lot.
As of 2017, there will be a “Modified” (topping out at 3’5") in there as well between Training and Preliminary.
(The local levels around here are pretty consistently “Elementary” at 27", with “Pre-Elementary” below that. I think “Starter” is a lot more common elsewhere, and I like it because (to met at least!) it sounds more welcoming.)
Pre-Entry XC: fences maximum height .75 m no drops, no mandatory water. Obstacles without height must have option. Single jumping efforts only[12]
Entry (equatable to USEA Beginner Novice)
Pre-Training (equatable to USEA Novice): XC: fences maximum height 0.91 m ditch 1.50 m drops 1.10 m; Stadium fences: 0.96 m
Training: XC: fences maximum height 1.00 m ditch 1.80 m drops 1.40 m; Stadium fences: 1.05 m
Preliminary: XC: fences maximum height 1.10 m ditch 2.80 m drops 1.60 m; Stadium fences: 1.15 m
Intermediate: XC: fences maximum height 1.15 m ditch 3.20 m drops 1.80 m; Stadium fences: 1.20 m
Advanced: XC: fences maximum height 1.20 m ditch 3.60 m drops 2.00 m; Stadium fences: 1.25 m
