Equestrian events are competitions that involve horse riding and horsemanship. DRESSAGE is a type of equestrian event in which the rider and horse perform a series of predetermined movements. Gymkhana is another type of equestrian event in which the rider and horse must complete a course of obstacles, such as jumps, barrels, and poles. Both DRESSAGE and gymkhana require skill, precision, and control from both the rider and the horse.
