The use of horses in the eventing – a review

Eventing is considered to be the most demanding and attractive discipline of equestrian sport, and it originates from the army. Eventing is also called military, horse trials, combined training, three day eventing and equestrian triathlon, where men and women compete equally. The core of this sport is endurance, strength and speed. In the beginning, Sweden was the leading country of eventing, and in the last few years, Australia and Britain have the best results. The horse breed has not been determined, but the best results are achieved by the English Thoroughbred, Holstein and Hanoverian horse. In the Republic of Croatia, Eventing is not as popular and expanded as show jumping and dressage riding, the first competition was held in 2007 in Maksimir, followed by a break and the last competition was recorded in 2018. The aim of this review is to describe the mentioned discipline of equestrian sport and to define the breeds of horses most suitable for that discipline.
