The Events[]
There are three events in the Olympics. The first is the showjumping event. In this event, the rider and horse are timed while they race around a difficult jumping course. If the horse rejects or knocks down a jump or if they go over the time limit, they get penalty points. The rider with the least amount of penalty points and quickest time wins.
The second event is Dressage. WIP
