The Dressage phase shows how trainable the horse is and its basic paces in walk, trot and canter, the show jumping shows athleticism, control, and accuracy while the cross \u2013 country phase tests stamina, speed, jumping and bravery. The sport combines the different disciplines in one competition and is run on a cumulative penalty basis. The competitor with the least penalties at the end is the winner. Dressage tests are available on the Irish pony club Website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#535968\">The IPC Eventing Championships will be held on 23rd &amp; 24<sup>th<\/sup> August 2025, in Tattersalls.
