horse trials
Three-phase equestrian competition
Horse trials is an equestrian competition testing horse and rider across three disciplines: dressage, cross-country, and show jumping.
Also called eventing or three-day eventing, the sport demands versatility—precision in the arena, endurance over natural obstacles, and technical jumping skill.
She's been training for the spring horse trials since January.
