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
