An olympic event containing three sports?

Answer 1

Equine three day eventing is a competition between horses over a period of three days with each day a different event on each day.

On day 1 a dressage test, it is different from normal dressage as you get juged on you movements but if you get 60% you then say i have 30% as you are looking for a lower score. So the higher your dressage score then you lower it will be.

On day 2 a Cross Country or somethimes spelt as XC which test the strengh and stamina of the horse. There are natural jumps such as fallen logs of timber built jumps. The course is run over a few miles and the jumps quiet smaller than in the olden days as it is more techincal now. The more advanced the competition the longer the course. Also there is a set time and you get 1/4 of a penlty every second you run over also 20 penlty points for a refuals and elimination for 3 refusals and elimination for a fall.

On day 3 show jumping running like any normal show jumping competition. Of course with 2 days of competition the horse is going to be worn out so you can't be to demanding. Day 3 is the day the winner will be decided.

Eventing is a very risky and expensive sport but once you have masterd the sport there is a lot to be gained from it.

Answer 2

Dressage, Showjumping, Cross country. The aim is to have the lowest score at the end of the comp (i.e. a refusal is 4 faults, as is a rail). In Dressage you hope to get the most of the possible 10 points for each movement and this is then calculated so the highest scoring (best) dressage competitor has the least points. Good eventers usually stay on their dressage scores.
