What are the three Olympic equestrian events?
There are three disciplines in the Olympic Games: dressage, eventing, and jumping (also known as show jumping). While both are exciting equestrian sports, showjumping focuses solely on jumping over obstacles in a timed course, whereas eventing encompasses three phases: dressage, cross-country, and showjumping. Each discipline requires different skills and strategies, making them uniquely challenging.
What is the Olympic horse dancing called?
Dressage (/ˈdrɛsɑːʒ/ or /drɪˈsɑːʒ/; French: [dʁɛsaʒ], most commonly translated as training) is a form of horse riding performed in exhibition and competition, as well as an art sometimes pursued solely for the sake of mastery. Dressage challenges. Developing independent aids that our horse can clearly interpret are difficult to learn because the rider must master body control, requiring core strength, and flexibility. We also cannot learn by isolating one aid, as we must master the coordination of using multiple aids simultaneously.
