Competition
Working equitation competition consists of four phases.
- Dressage – encourages harmony between horse and rider. Tests are conducted in a 20m x 40m arena.
- Ease of Handling (EOH) – horse and rider demonstrate how calmly, precisely and stylishly they deal with obstacles.
- Speed – a test of speed, agility, athleticism using the same obstacles as the Ease of Handling phase.
- Cattle – tests the ability of the horse and rider to work cattle individually and with teammates.
Compulsory phases are dressage, ease of handling and speed.
