Eventing is a combined equestrian discipline that tests a horse and rider’s versatility, skill, and stamina across three distinct phases are:

Dressage: The event begins with a dressage test, where horse and rider perform a series of predetermined movements in an arena. Precision and smoothness are key.                            Cross-Country: The second phase involves navigating a series of obstacles (such as fences, ditches, and water jumps) over a challenging terrain. This phase tests the horse’s stamina, bravery, and evaluates the rider’s ability to manage speed and control over longer distances.

Show Jumping: The final phase is when a horse and rider must jump over a series of fences in an arena within a set time. This phase focuses  the rider’s ability to guide the horse through a course without knocking down any poles or incurring time penalties.
