The United States
Eventing Association is the national organization for Eventing competitions and
education. Eventing could be termed an "equestrian triathlon." It
involves working with a horse both on the flat and over fences. The three
phases are: dressage, endurance (or cross-country), and show jumping. It is the
ultimate challenge to prepare a horse for this rigorous test. Unlike other
sports, where only the human will and body are pitted against the clock, in
eventing, two minds and bodies have to work as one. As an additional
attraction, eventing is the only high-risk Olympic sport that permits men
and women to compete as equals. There are no separate divisions and some of
the top riders in the world today are women from many nations. In
addition to the Olympic and Pan American Games, a World Championship is held
every four years. The sport, however, is not limited to the
international levels. It draws from a wide range of riders both in age and
geography. We can boast of 75 year old riders competing in preliminary
three-day events to youngsters of 10 and 11 at the entry level.
