EQUESTIANISM

Characteristics:

Equestrianism is a very old sport practiced by a man and his horse. Equestrianism

is more often known as riding, horseback riding or horse riding, usually refers to the skill of riding, driving with horses.

Riding is the on-line sport in which men and women compete together, on equal terms.

In olimpic games, riding is divided into 3 modes:

•        Equestrian jumping;

•        Equestrian Dressage;

•        CCE (eventing).

§  Training ( or Dressage)

In this test, the rider must perform a series of movements in a given period of time. The judges evaluate the competitor with scores from 0 to 10.

§  Jump

In jumping, the rider must pass, with his horse, from 12 to 15 obstacles on a track measuring 700-900 meters. Is aiming for a clean run without faults and penalidades.O winner will be the rider who miss less (not committing faults and deviations) in less time. Power, strength, speed and horse obedience are essential in jumping competitions

§  CCE (eventing)

The three tests of the ECC are carried out individually, and the rider can never change your horse with the evidence already in progress. Each step has a value and the sum of the three scores determines the final classification. The competition begins with a veterinary control, where horses are enabled to compete in the three ECC events. Mode that combines jumping, dressage and cross country (artificial and natural obstacles like bushes)
