| The Festival of British Eventing |
Eventing, referred also as horse trials, evolved from the training and selection of cavalry horses.
Today it comprises the three equestrian disciplines of dressage, show jumping and cross country, with each discipline designed to test the horses ability, with :
- dressage showing how trainable the horse is and its basic paces in walk, trot and canter show jumping revealing athleticism, control and accuracy, and
- the cross country testing stamina, speed, jumping and bravery.
The sport combines these 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.
In addition to providing a festival of top class eventing, the Magic Millions Festival of British Eventing offers visitors a shopping village, a full programme of arena attractions and the Gatcombe Farmers Market with local food producers.
Built in the late 18th century, Gatcombe Park itself is a Grade II* listed building located between the villages of Minchinhampton and Avening in Gloucestershire.
