What is Eventing?

The Ultimate Challenge

Also known as combined training, eventing is one of the fastest growing equestrian pursuits in the world, and one in which riders of all ages and abilities can compete. Developed from cavalry competitions during the early 1900's, eventing is the ultimate challenge for horse and rider, testing their partnership and athletic prowess in three diverse and demanding disciplines - dressage, cross country jumping and show jumping.

A horse trial takes place over one, two or three days, and involves three distinct phases or tests - with varying degrees of difficulty, depending on the competitive level. Taken as a whole, these phases portray the ability, versatility, and preparedness of horse and rider. Penalty points are recorded resulting in a combined score for the whole trial. The lowest score wins.
