What is eventing ????
Eventing is an equestrian event where a single horse

And rider combine and compete against other

Competitors across the three disciplines of dressage,

cross- country and show jumping. This event has a wide

Variety test that required a

Mastery of several types of riding. This is what i’d love

to do. My dream…..
