I’m so excited this is recognized now. I’m training in jumping or dressage but getting thrown into a trial with three foot x country jumps is quite threatening. I love that some of these jumps are small enough to pop over on a green course. And they’re cheaper so getting eliminated isn’t as big of a deal! So excited to train up a horse for an event next summer!

I’m planning to do a beginner novice event this year. I evented last year as well, and I think for people starting out it is important to be prepared for a lot of work and dedication. Nothing is quite like going to your first three day event!

You are absolutely right in what you say about ones first event. I took my Irish Draft to my first one in Bellville,Tx(at Pine Hill Equestrian Center last Feb. It was amazing,I had never been on the cross country course and King and I did very well. He loves water.

Loved the info. I think the horse world needs to come down to the level of the backyard owner that has no knowledge in any areas and needs to give them experiences that allow them to decide where they want to go.

Great article. I never evented, and I don’t know where to start, but this helped a lot.
