Showjumping vs. Eventing — What's the Difference?

A sporting competition where horses are ridden around a course consisting of several jumps, to demonstrate the skill of both the rider and the horse.

Eventing (also known as three day eventing or horse trials) is an equestrian event where a single horse and rider combine and compete against other competitors across the three disciplines of dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. This event has its roots in a comprehensive cavalry test that required mastery of several types of riding.
