SECTION III Conformation & Type. Note: Following section III, the ten horses with the highest marks will proceed to Section IV. In the event of equality of marks at this stage the horse with the higher jumping mark will be given precedence. Should this still produce an equality of marks all horses on that same jumping mark will come forward.

SECTION IV Suitability & Potential- Only the top ten horses are required for this section where they will be judged for star quality and the potential to make the ULTIMATE THREE DAY EVENT HORSE. These horses will be required to gallop.

Note: in the event of equality of marks at the end of the four sections, the jumping mark will be given precedence. Should this still produce an equality of marks, the highest mark attained in the final section will be the deciding factor.
