The jumping test featured 20 obstacles and had a time limit of 160 seconds. Points were lost for faults (including elimination for the third refusal on the course) and for exceeding the time limit. The schedule of faults was:[3]
- 3 points: first disobedience
- 4 points: upsetting obstacle, touching water
- 6 points: second disobedience, fall of horse
- 10 points: fall of rider
- 1/4 point: every second above 160
A team had to have all three pairs finish to be placed.
