Cross country and show jumping are two of three parts of the equestian sport known as 3-day eventing. The third being dressage. The first day is the dressage test, second day is cross country and the third day is show jumping.
3-day is the ultimate test of the horse/rider team. They must maintain their edge not just for one day but for three. The first day although it seems to be the easiest can actually be the toughest. Dressage is very precise and sometimes it's hard to keep the horses focused and to keep the energy under control. The cross country is grueling and can be dangerous. If the horse/rider make it through the solid x-country fences/water obsticles and are still sound they must then have enough energy for the third day of show jumping. The tricky part of the last day is on the x-country course the jumps are solid and won't fall down with a hard rub, the horse doesn't have to worry about a pole down. On the show jumping course any little rub or bump can bring a pole down so the horse has to differentiate between the two and be extra careful the 3rd day.
