【明報專訊】The Longines Masters of Hong Kong (香港馬術大師賽) will be held between February 10 and 12 at the Asia-World Expo (亞洲博覽館). How much do you know about equestrian sports? Big words The three Olympic equestrian events are show jumping, dressage and eventing. Show jumping (場地障礙賽) — Riders need to ride their horses to jump over a variety of fences and complete riding challenges. Dressage (盛裝舞步賽) — It is often described as horses performing ballet. Horses and riders need to perform a routine of beautifully choreographed movements in the arena. Eventing (三項賽) — It covers every aspect of horsemanship. Apart from the above two disciplines, riders and their horses need to overcome cross-country challenges. ■Glossary choreograph (v) 編排舞蹈 horsemanship (n) 騎術
