Eventing
Stamina, Accuracy and Exhilarating
What Is Eventing
Often called the equestrian triathlon, Eventing combines dressage, cross-country, and show jumping into one thrilling and demanding discipline.
The Three Phases
Eventing consists of three separate tests:
Show jumping tests accuracy and agility in a timed arena round.
Dressage evaluates the horse’s obedience, rhythm, and harmony with the rider.
Cross-country challenges boldness and stamina over varied terrain and solid obstacles.
Skills & Strategy
Eventing develops a well-rounded rider and horse. Success requires careful training, fitness, and planning. Riders must balance control, bravery, and finesse across all phases.
