Il doit être âgé d’au moins 4 ans et compter parmi ses atouts une bonne condition physique, du calme, de l’écoute et faire preuve de complicité avec son meneur.
They must be at least 16 years old. They must be accompanied by a team member responsible for reading the map during the P.O.R. phase. They must be able to navigate in a natural environment, using a topographical map, and to negotiate safely all the difficulties usually encountered in nature. There is no official dress code, but proper attire is required. Helmets must be worn during all phases.
Compass, map and stopwatch are the essential tools. Competitors must scrupulously follow a 30 to 50 km route corresponding to a route that they will have discovered and copied 20 minutes before their departure. Section checks and passage checks, the location of which is unknown to competitors, are scattered throughout the course. These checks make it possible to verify the time of passage of the competitor, the accuracy of the route taken as well as the good health of the horse during veterinary checks. Riders respect an imposed speed, between 6 and 12 km/h. A good command of the topography makes it possible to anticipate the horse's effort and manage its progress.
This circuit, from 1,5 to 5 km, is to be performed in an ideal time which means a maximum of 12km/h. It presents a range of natural or simulated difficulties: gate, trunk, ditch, footbridge, hurdle, ford, gate, immobility, counter-hill, etc.... The judges note the efficiency, style or pace chosen by the competitor and any penalties.
This phase, which takes place the day after the POR, also enables the horse's ability to recover from sustained and prolonged effort to be assessed.
