The United States Eventing
Association (formerly know as the USCTA - United States Combined Training
Association) is the national organization for Eventing competitions and
education. Eventing could be termed an "equestrian triathlon." It
involves working with a horse both on the flat and over fences. The three
phases are: dressage, endurance (or cross-country), and show jumping. It is the
ultimate challenge to prepare a horse for this rigorous test. Unlike other
sports, where only the human will and body are pitted against the clock, in
eventing, two minds and bodies have to work as one. As an additional
attraction, eventing is the only high-risk Olympic sport that permits men
and women to compete as equals. There are no separate divisions and some of
the top riders in the world today are women from many nations. In
addition to the Olympic and Pan American Games, a World Championship is held
every four years. The sport, however, is not limited to the
international levels. It draws from a wide range of riders both in age and
geography. We can boast of 75 year old riders competing in preliminary
three-day events to youngsters of 10 and 11 at the entry level.

Southern
Pines to Sydney: And We're Home...and Tired!
by Christan Trainor
The last two days were long but good. I ended up
going cross-country at 4:00 pm, so I had all day
to hang out (and stress) and wait for the
shadows to add to the difficulty of the
cross-country course! The course is lovely
though, with lots of open galloping spaces and a
wonderful feeling of being on top of the world.
It had the feel to me of the Burghley
cross-country course in England, actually. There
is plenty of room to run and make time between
the fences.

Back to Eventing: How I Won the Training Level AEC
by Katherine Walcott
"If you build it, he will come."
Lee Garlington as The Voice in Field of
Dreams
The Mission
The title is an overstatement since I am
horseless. After 20 years of owning an Adult
jumper, I am going back to eventing. Just as
soon as I find a horse to take me. The subtitle
is one of those affirmation actualization
statements the sport psych books endorse. That's
the goal. Let's see how long it takes to realize
and how the scenery looks along the way. Read

Playing with the Big Kids
This 29-year-old Adult Rider from Maryland found
that personal successes can be just as rewarding
as colored ribbons, both of which she brought
home from the Millbrook Horse Trials in July,
where she competed with her Adult Team Challenge
crew, the "CDCTA Ladies In Red." And while
achieving goals gave rise to new ones she hadn't
even considered, the interest and health of her
horse always remain the first and foremost
consideration when deciding where they'll go
next.
