What Is Eventing?

“Eventing is the ultimate team sport… the tightest team in sport:

the team of two, the team of horse and rider. ”

Simon Barnes - The Times
 

"The demands of the three-day event will be extreme for both Hua Tian and Chico:

• the technicalities and precision of the dressage,
• followed by the lung-bursting cross-country,
• and then the almost unbearable tension of the showjumping. 
  

One slip of hoof or hand can make the difference between gold and failure.”

Matthew Pinsent - The Times
