About Eventing
Eventing is best described as an equestrian triathlon. It is an Olympic discipline comprised of three phases, which tests a rider’s skill more completely than any other equestrian sport. Dressage, the first phase, shows the horse's and rider’s ability to perform a series of prescribed classical movements on the flat in an enclosed arena. The second phase, cross-country, involves the horse and rider galloping over natural terrain, jumping a variety of fixed obstacles along the way. In the final phase of show jumping, horse and rider jump a series of stadium fences in an enclosed arena. Individual horse and rider combinations accumulate penalty points in each phase and those with the fewest points at the end of all three phases will take home top honors. Eventing has evolved from its start as a military contest to an exciting sport that involves all levels of enthusiasts, from weekend hobby riders to professional international stars.
