History of Eventing

Eventing, also known as Combined Training, is designed to show the rider's spirit, boldness, and perfect knowledge of his horse's speed and ability.  The rider has to show the condition, handiness, courage, jumping ability, and stamina of a well-trained horse.  Eventing traces its beginnings back to "The Militaire" in Europe.  It was a competition introduced at the 1912 Olympic Games as the ultimate test for a Cavalry Horse.  The only people allowed to compete for the United States were active-duty Army Officers mounted on Military Horses.  As of 1924, Eventing was open to civilians, but noncommissioned Army Officers were not allowed to take part in Olympic Games until 1956.  Women were not allowed to participate until 1964.
