In Equestrian Events you work towards points, and championship awards. Your points are based off events, such as: Jumping, Cross Country, and Dressage. Each event except Dressage are timed. Depending on how fast you complete race determines how many points you earned, and you can also be penalized for hitting an obstacle. If you hit to many obstacles you will be disqualified.
There is three different events: Dressage, Cross-Country, and Jumping. The first event is Dressage, this shows the judges how beautiful the horse can move and listen to the rider. Riders use different movements to make their horse impressive. The scoring chart is based from zero to ten, and ten being the best.
Cross-Country is the second event, this consists of water, jumping, and trail riding. The goal is to be as quick through this event without falling off and getting disqualified. You cannot do a jump more than once if you make a mistake.
The final event is Jumping. In this event they have props for you to jump and if your horse knocks one down you get a penalty. You want to be a quick and precise in this event to do very well.
