(21,812 posts)What's going on right now is called "event", which used to be called the "3-day-event" because it takes 3 days of competition for both horse and rider:
Day 1: Dressage
Day 2: Cross-country race (against the clock)
Day 3: Show jumping
In other words, this competition is about all-around horses, not dressage or show-jumping specialists. Those comes later in the Games, and those are separate competitions with different horses and riders.
