Who is an "eventer"?
An eventer is a rider who competes in eventing, a sport that combines three activities: dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. Eventers work closely with their horses to perform precise movements in dressage, navigate challenging obstacles on varied terrain in cross-country, and clear jumps in a timed show jumping round. Success in eventing requires skill, courage, and a strong bond between rider and horse, as well as versatility across these demanding and diverse activities.
Examples
The eventer showcased excellent form during the dressage phase of the competition.
