Why is the olympic equestrian sequence dressage cross country then show jumping?

The sequence you describe is for the sport of Eventing. The point of the sequence is to show training and discipline through Dressage on the first day. Cross Country is held on the second (or third day if there are a lot of horses competing.) To show the horse has bravery and stamina. Show Jumping held on the third (or fourth) day is to show that the horse is fit to continue service. The sport was originally called 'The Military' as this was how Calvary horses were tested. In the 2012 London Olympics the 3 equestrian disciplines were held in this order. Eventing, Show Jumping, and Dressage.
