How is Olympics Equestrian Jumping scored? I understand penalties. How is the final score calculated?

I understand how penalties are incurred. I can’t figure out how the final score is actually calculated, and I can’t find it anywhere on the internet, no matter how hard I search. Does anyone have any idea how that final score is precisely calculated, such as a formula or something?
I understand how faults are incurred. I know what actions results in how many faults or elimination. However, that does not explain how the final score is calculated. Does anyone know how the final score is determined, as in a formula or something?

Equestrian Olympic Games – Three-day Eventing

Equestrian Olympic Games €“ Three-Day Eventing:

Equestrian and equine enthusiasts world round consider three-day eventing as the most complete test of the horse and rider. This testing covers all of the aspects involved in training and horsemanship. Calmness and obedience in and throughout the dressage phase, to speed and boldness in the excitement of the across country endurance phase, stadium jumping and the stamina taxed in the stadium jumping phase. The same horse respectively must be used in all phases of this three-day event.

Phase 1: Dressage Test

In the first day and phase of this test is the dressage stage. The main objectives of the dressage stage is to test and demonstrate harmony and development between the horse as well as the rider. This is a very difficult task of the three-day event., usually because the event horse in itself is particularly keen, they are athletic individuals, in this they are more anxious to get going on the cross country course part of this vigorous test. The riders main objective is not to get to anxious, after all this is just the beginning of the games. He need to demonstrate that his horse is fit to carry out the task at hand, but has to also show that his horse is obedient to the rider, in this he cannot show impatience or resistance as any sign. Here the rider needs a good score, this here can place him among the leaders, This will give him a big advantage when taking the second phase into consideration.

Phase 2: Endurance Phase

Into the second day we move into the this test of endurance. Here the main objective is to show endurance, speed, and important of these cross country jumping ability. This will also test the rider’s timing knowledge and of course, pace control. Certain penalties are incurred, these include falls or refusals at obstacles, going off course is not allowed, and the time alloted for exceeding.

As you will see, the endurance competition has four parts:

Roads and Tracks

Steeplechase

Roads and Tracks (again)

Cross Country

In each of these parts there is an “Allowed Time”, This means that the rider’s goal is to complete that part of the competition in a timely manner. They also must do so, without excreting the horse in any way. Timing is of utmost importance in this endurance phase of the competition. The rider defiantly does not want to ask to much of his horse at this stage, after all the horse has to have enough energy to complete the full competition. Its also to note, Veterinarians do check the horses at regular intervals. If a vet feels a horse is getting to tired, the vet can order a rest period to the horse and rider. At this point the vet will designate a time period, if the vet feels the horse is not ready to continue or the horse is unfit, he can order the full withdrawal of that animal from further competition. So you can see why it’s so important for the rider to have patience in practicing pace control and timing, the rider has to make the most use of his horses energy and ability and practice good horsemanship at all times.

Phase 3: Stadium Jumping

As the third day and final day is entered, this is where the stadium jumping phase comes into play. In this part, unlike the endurance phase of the test, is taken part usually in an arena. So you can see where the term “Stadium Jumping” comes to play. The main objective here is to test how the horse bounces back from what was the endurance phase. Its not uncommon at this point, for the riders to be tied in numbers of points from the end of the endurance and dressage phases. The Stadium jumping phase of these events almost always decides the winner.
