Eventing - North Herefordshire Hunt

Share this page

Eventing gives Pony Club Members a competition which needs courage, determination and all-round riding ability combined with the careful and systematic training of the horse. Riders gain a deeper understanding of the different sports open to them.

The sport could be termed an “equestrian triathlon”. It involves working with your pony/horse both on the flat and over jumps. Today, the sport is most known for its cross-country phase where horse and rider gallop over an outside course of solid obstacles which the horse has never seen before.

Eventing is split into three phases: Dressage, Show Jumping & Cross Country.

As well as weekly showjumping and dressage sessions, we regularly have training on cross country courses when the weather allows.
