Interesting Facts

Eventing is commonly seen as a triathlon A triathlon is an athletic event made up of three contests (from the greek)....of the competitive equestrian world, due to the broad areas of competence required. The dressage phase (held first) comprises a highly exact pattern ridden in a small ring. Rider and horse are judged on their ability to communicate with each other in performing prescribed delicate maneuvers. The challenge is to demonstrate that a supremely fit horse, capable of completing the cross country phase on time, also has the training to perform in a relaxed, precise manner. The next phase, cross-country, requires both horse and rider to be in excellent shape and to be brave and trusting of each other. This phase consists of approximately 12-20 fences (lower levels), 30-40 at the higher levels, placed on a long outdoor circuit. These fences consist of very solidly built natural objects (telephone poles, stone walls, etc.) as well as various obstacles such as ponds and streams, ditches, drops and banks - based on objects that would commonly occur in the countryside. The course is usually several miles long. This phase is timed, with the rider required to cross the finish line within a certain time frame. Crossing the finish line after the allowed time results in a penalty. Penalties are also incurred if the horse refuses to jump a fence or if the rider falls off. Fitness is required as the time allowed will require a strong canter at the lower levels, to a steady gallop at the higher events. Unlike 1-day events, 3-day events also include Phases A, B, and C along with Cross Country (Phase D). Phases A and C, Roads and Tracks, are several miles long and usually ridden at a trot to make the time. Phase B, Steeplechase, is a very fast gallop over several Steeplechase-like fences. All four phases together require an extremely fit horse at the top level of the sport. The last phase, showjumping, tests the technical jumping skills of the horse and rider, as well as their fitness. In this phase, 12-20 fences are set up in a ring. These fences are brightly colored and consist of poles set in shallow cups. If the horse and rider are not in adequate shape or do not have the technical skill, then they will knock down the poles, incurring penalties. This phase is also timed, with penalties being given for every second over the required time. In addition to normal jumping skills, eventing showjumping tests the fitness of the horse and rider, generally being held after the cross country phase so the horse and rider will both be tired.
