Skyline eventing thrills LOCAL equestrians May 7–9, July 23–24 & Sept. 17–19 facebook.com/SkylineEventingPark/ Skyline Eventing Park, located at the south end of Mt. Pleasant, is Utah’s premier cross country facility offering horse race tracks from introductory skill levels through preliminary level. The Skyline Eventing Committee encourages all to come experience the thrill of eventing during the summer of 2021. Spectators are welcome to attend all of the events and clinics with free admission at Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center and ConToy Arena, 1000 S. 955 West, Mt. Pleasant. All spectators are asked to follow the United States Eventing Association’s (USEA) COVID-19 protocols which includes wearing a mask at all times and social distancing a distance of at least six feet with any other person outside their immediate household. The sport of eventing is likened to the equestrian triathlon where horse and riders tackle three phases of competition. Dressage demonstrates the training of the horse under saddle. Cross country is a test of endurance and physicality where horses and riders jump solid elements at a high rate of speed. Show jumping shows the grace of the horse by jumping rails and fences.
