=== Show jumping === [[Image:RolexFence1.JPG|thumb|Show jumping phase at the Land Rover Kentucky Three Day Event]] {{Main|Show jumping}} Stadium or show jumping is the final phase of eventing competition and tests the technical jumping skills of the horse and rider, including suppleness, obedience, fitness, and athleticism. In this phase, 12–20 fences are set up in a ring. These fences are typically brightly colored and consist of elements that can be knocked down, unlike cross-country obstacles. This phase is also timed, with penalties being given for every second over the required time. In addition to normal jumping skills, eventing show jumping tests the fitness and stamina of the horse and rider, generally being held after the cross-country phase in higher level and international events. ==== Scoring ==== * Knocking down an obstacle: 4 penalties * Disobedience (refusal, run-out, circle, moving backwards) over the whole round: ** First: 4 penalties ** Second: Elimination * Fall of rider: Elimination * Fall of horse: Elimination * Exceeding the time allowed: 0.4 of a penalty per second * Jumping an obstacle in the wrong order: Elimination * Error of course not rectified: Elimination An obstacle is defined as having been knocked down if any part of its height is lowered. It is therefore possible to knock out a pole below the top pole and receive no penalties, as long as the highest pole stays in place, so that the jump retains the same height. It does count as a knockdown if the highest pole falls out of one jump cup but remains in the other; although part of the pole remains at the original height, the other part is lowered.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Rules of Each Event Phase and How They Are Scored|url=http://www.britisheventing.com/section.asp?section=681§ionTitle=The+Phases+explained|publisher=British Eventing|access-date=15 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130528130943/http://www.britisheventing.com/section.asp?section=681§ionTitle=The+Phases+explained|archive-date=28 May 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Jumping Rules|url=http://www.fei.org/sites/default/files/file/OFFICIALS%20%26%20ORGANISERS/ORGANISERS/JUMPING/Technical%20Info/JumpRules_24thEd_2013_clean_1.pdf|publisher=Fédération Equestre Internationale|access-date=15 December 2012}}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The winner is the horse and rider with the fewest penalties. Awards are usually presented while mounted, before the placed riders take a lap of honor around the arena.
