The Mile High Horse Ranch Derby is composed of a combined score of a dressage test and a cross country round with 18-24 jumps at Introductory, Beginner Novice, Novice and Training levels. They are unrecognized, however half points apply to the MSEA-CCC Year End Awards. The X-C will be open for schooling all summer except the week before each Derby. (Go to SCHOOLING for photos of some of the jumps.)
