Three-Day Eventing is an equestrian sport that combines three distinct disciplines: dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. Competitors ride a single horse through these events over three days, showcasing the horse's versatility and the rider's skill. Each discipline tests different abilities, with dressage focusing on precision and grace, cross-country emphasizing endurance and bravery, and show jumping requiring agility and accuracy.
The event begins with dressage, where horse and rider perform a series of predetermined movements. This is followed by a challenging cross-country course featuring various obstacles, such as jumps and water hazards. Finally, the competition concludes with show jumping, where riders navigate a course of fences in an arena, aiming for the fastest time with the fewest faults.
