cross-country phase has the most significant influence on the whole
competition. The horse and rider
are expected to negotiate a course of natural obstacles between 16 and 30 in
number set in varying terrain within an optimum time. Competitors
are penalised for refusals or falls at fences, or for either exceeding the
optimum time or going too quickly.
Horses are graded on a points system, points being awarded for wins and placings
in official British Eventing events. The
more experienced horses are required to compete in more testing competitions
than novices; firstly at intermediate and then advanced level.
