Equestrian event at Horseman’s Park
Thursday, May 8, 1997 | 11:59 a.m.
The sport of 3-Day Eventing began in the 1900s as a combined training test for military men and their horses. The combined training horse trials, otherwise known as the 3-Day Event, was added to the Olympic Games in 1912. Three-Day Eventing tests the jumping abilities, courage and trainability of horses as well as the capabilities of riders through three phases: dressage, show jumping and cross country.
The dressage phase will be at 8 a.m. Friday at Horseman's Park. Cross country will take place at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Floyd Lamb State Park. Show jumping will be at 8 a.m. Sunday at Horseman's Park.
LVEE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the Olympic sport of 3-Day Eventing and competition in Southern Nevada. The Las Vegas Horse Trials, which draw competitors from 11 Western states, enables the public to see live equestrian sports.
For more information, call Tammy Hanson, vice president of LVEE, 655-6380.
