Hobby Horse Classes – Show Jumping, Dressage, and Special Classes

Riding-Horse Classes – Jumping, Dressage, and Special Classes

Stick horse competitions are inspired by traditional equestrian sports, so the classes are similar to those seen at real horse shows. Here are the most common classes you’ll encounter—and which rosettes typically go with each type.

Show Jumping

The most common and usually the most crowd-pleasing class. Here, a course is set up with jumps of varying heights, ranging from low beginner heights to advanced levels. Jumping is judged on the round, technique, and speed.

Dressage

A class that focuses on precision and harmony. The rider performs a routine with movements that are judged by the judges.

Barrel racing and pattern classes

Fast-paced classes where the horse and rider complete a course—often around barrels—against the clock.

Specialty and Fun Classes

Many competitions feature “fun” classes, such as best-dressed or most enthusiastic team. Here, creativity can run wild.

Which rosettes are suitable?

Show jumping and dressage: traditional placement rosettes in 1st–5th place colors, starting at 24 SEK each from Hästrosetter.
Special classes: fun and colorful varieties or “Best in...” rosettes from Tema Rosettes.
