  1. THE ROLEX THREE DAY EVENT
    In 1974, the United States equestrian team took individual gold and team gold at the eventing championships. That gave the United States the right to hold the event in their country. It was held at Luxington Horse Park. They held several events before that to insure all would go smoothly. There was also a nonprofit that was started for the support of the event. This nonprofit was started at Equestrian Events inc. This event was broadcasted internationally in 18 languages. Now let's talk more specifically about the actual event. this is a eventing class witch means there are three different categories. Which is why it is three day event. The three categories are show jumping, also known as jumpers. They are judged on how efficiently you can complete the course. So, it is based off the time and the amount of faults you get. The next section or test is dressage. Dressage is a a series of movements performed by horse and rider from memory. In competition there are also set tests that must be performed by horse and rider. These tests are scored from 1 as the lowest and 10 as the highest. The last is cross country, also known as hunter trials. The goal in this is to get as little time and jump faults as possible. It is judged in the same manor. As in the person with the least faults wins. This is the end of this entry blahahahah.

  2. Thank you, Josh. I knew nothing about horse races. Now I know about the Rolex Three Day Event, which I assume is named for the watch competition.
