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.

Artistic Epiphany (Pippa) is a lovely 2003, 17.2h black and white pinto Dutch warmblood mare by imported KWPN stallion Raine Dance by Concorde/ Voltaire. Super conformation, reaching gaits and very animated. Pippa is smart, willing and full of personality. She is tall but light and soft in the bridle. She is schooling 1st level with show experience this season and scores in the 60′s. She has free jumped 3′+, cross rails under saddle and is very brave & scopey. In professional dressage training daily and working well at leg yields, shoulder-in and collected work. Looking for a good, loving show home and not to be kept as a pasture ornament. She is sound with no health or behavior issues.

Pippa had a beautiful black colt last year. Easily in foal with no complications. See him listed on this site as “Bravado”.

With world class jumping and dressage bloodlines Pippa would make a wonderful open jumper prospect or eventing mount. She is versatile and could excel and any discipline.

Info- I finally got Sony Vegas! Yes, this is my first video using Vegas. Its sooo complicated, compared to WMM. Anywho, I had a blast making this. I wanted to make this as a Demo for my computer teacher.

Texture- Yes, I made the texture. Just downloaded some brushes on Photoshop and made a little design. Im welcome to make textures for other people, just message me.

Video- I cant believe what this turned out to be. It took me about 3 days to finish. I took up about 3-4 hours a day. I tried to make everything perfect so it would look amazing. But I kinda went a little crazy and it turned out way better than I expected.

Upload time: 1 hour, 21 min. [ I hate the fact that Sony Vegas takes so long!]

Well, Please enjoy this. I put lots of work into it guys.
