Canada, the Canadian Olympic Com- mittee and all of its sponsors, sup- porters, suppliers and friends for their continued support of the Cana- dian Eventing Team in its quest for excellence.


The Olympic sport of eventing encompasses three separate tests: dressage, cross country, and show jumping held consecutively. Each test ridden by the rider and horse in combination is scored individually but added together for the final results. The rider/horse combination with the fewest number of penalty points over the three days wins the competition.


At the 2011 Pan American Games each eligible nation may compete up to five rider/horse com- binations in the team and individual competition with the best three scores to count towards the final team classification. Nations which are unable to field a team may send one or rider/horse combinations to compete in the individual competi- tion.
