SHOWJUMPING EXPLAINED - THE 2-PHASE COMPETITION

GREEN JACKETS

In the competition ring, green jackets are used to acknowledge riders who have been awarded their SA Protea Colours. To be awarded SA Protea Colours, a rider has represented South Africa in a competition.

Receiving a green jacket is a huge achievement for a rider, so out of respect for their hard work, if you are wondering if a show jacket may be viewed as a shade of green, then it's better not to wear it.

One of the responses that I have learned to expect when I post photos of good riders doing various activities in basically well balanced ways is having other people provide photos of highly skilled riders in unorthodox positions, with the “Yeah, but look at So And So, she isn’t like that and yet she wins everything---.”

Bernie Traurig (pictured) has the perfect response:
“Don’t be a bad copy of a genius.”

I don’t know if Bernie heard that or came up with it, but the point that it makes, I think, is that just because some agile and gifted rider has certain stylistic departures from the norm, they probably do well in spite of rather than because of those “different” methods.

Copy the riders with better basics, and let the unorthodox geniuses do what works for them---.

A bad copy of a genius is still bad, and probably worse than if the copycat had tried to mirror a rider with a more balanced and centered style.
