Competitors will be put to the test through a series of events designed to test stamina, precision, agility, speed and control among other attributes.

The dressage will be spread over the first two days, giving spectators a good opportunity to observe the horses and riders before the more intensive events begin.

The second category will see horses compete around an energy-sapping cross country circuit, while the third and final test is show jumping to wrap up the event.
