Equestrian

What is equestrian?
Show jumping involves a rider leading their horse around a course of jumps and other obstacles, with time penalties for those who make errors. The winning individual or team is the competitor with the quickest time.
Eventing involves riders competing across three disciplines, including both dressage and show jumping. The third event is a cross-country race, an endurance-based course of jumping and running which tests both rider and horse.
