United States Eventing Association

Cross-country riding is one of the highlights of an eventer’s competition life and certainly the center of an eventer’s experience. So, what does it take for someone to learn how to make cross-country fun, safe, and challenging? Can you teach techniques that someone can learn these traits? This is where a coach can, and should, separate the techniques and make sure there is understanding of the requirements from the rider and the horse that are needed to accomplish that goal of a successful cross-country ride, at the level desired.
