Prix Caprilli Test #1 - For horses with jumping experience showing Training Level Dressage or above - maximum height of fences 2 feet. It is understood that in the working gaits, a jumping horse is not expected to be as round on the bit as a competing Dressage horse. The horse must softly accept the bit and may show more "roundness" in the parts of the tests separate from the jumps. Trot work to be done posting. Transitions into and out of the halt may be through the walk. Test may be called. Refusals will be penalized as an error of course. Knockdowns will be penalized at the judge's discretion. In the case of a knocked down rail being in the way, the judge will ring the bell for the rider to stop without penalty. After the jump is replaced, the bell will be rung again telling the rider to continue from where he stopped.
