Jumpers must be powerful enough to soar over huge fences, obedient enough to shorten or lengthen their strides to arrive at an optimum take-off point, agile enough to execute sharp turns and fast to shave time, especially in the jump-off. This sleek grey Thoroughbred gelding epitomizes the qualities of a World Equestrian Games jumper. In Dressage, horses must be superbly balanced, supple and powerfully muscled to execute the movements of grand prix dressage which include pirouettes in place at the canter, the extremely collected trot movements of piaffe and passage, and the bold extensions at the trot and canter. This handsome chestnut Hanoverian gelding portrays the qualities of a World Equestrian Games dressage horse. Event horses perform three phases of equestrian sport. They do a Dressage test, a cross-country phase, and a stadium jumping phase with roots going back to the days when the military relied on cavalry horses and tested them in all three phases. These horses must be supple and obedient enough to perform a Dressage test, bold, fit and fast enough to master a cross country course with solid and imposing obstacles, and then athletic enough to clear a stadium jumping course. With her lean musculature and long stride, this lovely bay Thoroughbred-cross mare represents this exciting World Equestrian Game discipline.
