There are three types of tests for joëring competitions.
1. Giant slalom or special slalom: the horse and skier must pass through 8 to 12 gates (giant) or 12 to 15 gates (special). The faster the pace, the more points the competitor earns.
3. Manoeuvrability: the horse and its driver must overcome various obstacles (between 5 and 8).
How to practice it ?
The activity can be practised from the age of 6 - with suitable horses.
The ponies and horses recommended for this activity are Shetland ponies for children and double ponies or small horses for adults. However, all types of horses and ponies can be used for joëring, whether they are saddle or draught horses.
The most important thing is that they respond well to the voice and that they have been broken in in a similar way to a carriage horse.
