ABOUT THE COMPETITION
The goal is that the horse and the athlete reach perfect harmony while executing the course alternating free and mandatory movements, such as walk, trot, gallop and halt. Free movements present special choreographies for each horse and are followed by music. Seven judges assess each performance, giving points from 1 to 10. After being totaled-up, this score generates a percentage, and the rider or team with the highest rate is the winner.
The table below describes the events related to this sport, split into male events, represented by the letter M, female events, by the letter F and mixed events, by the letters MF.

ABOUT THE COMPETITION
A course with 10 to 13 obstacles challenges the horse to demonstrate its strength, speed and obedience when jumping, while the rider must prove its riding skills. If any part of the obstacle is knocked down or if the horse refuses to jump, faults are computed. The style of the jump is not assessed. The winner will be the rider or team with fewer faults in the shortest time possible.
