Eventing

An Olympic equestrian discipline combining three phases ridden by the same horse and rider: dressage, cross-country and show jumping. Often called the equestrian triathlon, it tests obedience, endurance and accuracy. The cross-country phase, a course of natural obstacles across varied terrain, forms its heart. Prestigious equestrian estates and certain resorts maintain cross-country tracks used both for training and for hosting competitions that draw discerning spectators.
