Also know as “Large Steeples

History

The Large Steeples has been a part of FFF since it first graced the land at Bulgogi in 2008. Desingned and built by Jo Gallindo, it has remained in the same location in the north west corner. Over the years it has gained an infamous reputation for being highly competitive. It is often one of the first courses that a new pony will attempt due to it’s reputation, however, attempting such a challenging course at a young age can be very disheartening to a young pony. On the FFF Thoroughbred Checklist, it is not a requirement until TB 15 and a pony is not expected to succeed at this course until they have achieved their thoroughbred status.

Description

The course consists of 25 gates set across an area 4250 square meters of undulating land. The up and down hills adds additional challenges to ponies attempting this course and a full understanding of SecondLife™ physics will help. Jumps started from rising land will experience a higher more powerful jump where as jumps started from falling land experience suppressed height. This physics quirk sometimes surprises ponies and it can take a long time to be fully understood.

Tips

• To begin the course, take 3 steps before beginning to jump.
• The first 13 gates can be done without taking any steps.

Location

Located on the ground level to the north west corner of Bulgogi.
