A Lotte Horses

Join us for a rich session learning about the Olympic sport of Three Day Eventing. It is great timing, since the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad - the Paris Olympics start July 26 and we can hopefully watch some of the Equestrian events online. They are being hosted at the beautiful Palace of Versailles.

Three Day Eventing was created to test the competence of a horse and rider across three different riding disciplines - Dressage, Cross Country and Stadium Jumping. During the week, we will explore the rules and ride all disciplines and also take the horses off site to school cross country at El Sueno Equestrian Center in Somis. This week is for riders that are already competent to fully tack, ride at the canter and jump crossrails and up.

Ages 8+ Independent Riders ONLY

To join this week, riders must be able to comfortably tack their mount and ride at a canter independently. We will explore the three phases of eventing: dressage, stadium jumping and cross country. Riders will ride daily, and focus on the details of succeeding at this challenging sport, including cleaning tack, grooming, bathing, braiding and pacing their ride.

This week is also a great preparation for those planning on attending the three day event at Shepherd Ranch in Santa Ynez in August.
