On Sunday, the Amateur Tour Top 10 finals were held at the Kultajousi Arena in two classes. With the jump height set at 80 cm, four riders competed, one of whom placed. The competition was judged on a skills-based criteria, with the judges evaluating the rider\u2019s seat, course riding, and the overall impression of the horse and rider. <\/p>\n\n

The Amateur Top 10 Finals presented by Black Horse (80 cm) played out almost like a competition between two riding clubs, as Nissi and Moisio represented Riding Club Solbacka, while Rouhiainen and Tiainen represented Kauniaisten Ratsastajat. The competition was extremely close, and there were some spectacular performances throughout the class. Saana Nissi immediately set the bar high for the other competitors with a score of 8.7, holding the lead right until the very end of the competition and winning the entire class with her performance! <\/p>\n\n

Elsa Sj\u00f6str\u00f6m & Nevada Di Parta TR Take the Lead in Their Class with a Stunning Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

As the jump height increased to 95\u2013105 cm, the AM5.2 scoring system was used, meaning that a rider and horse who completed a clear round continued to the jump-off course after receiving a new start signal. There were six riders participating, some of whom jumped at the 95-cm level and others at the 105-cm level. <\/p>\n\n
