FEI EUROPEAN JUMPING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2013
Show Jumping is probably the most well-known equestrian discipline, requiring a rider and horse to jump over between 10 and 13 obstacles which can measure as high as 1m 60 without touching them.

This discipline requires the rider and horse to be in perfect harmony, as many factors such as momentum, speed, the course, and the number and length of strides taken must be combined in order to achieve a flawless performance.

BLUE HORS FEI EUROPEAN DRESSAGE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2013
Dressage is one of 3 Olympic disciplines of equestrian sports. It is often considered as the parent discipline of the other equestrian disciplines.

Indeed, no other discipline can be considered without the horse going through dressage principles and training techniques beforehand.

Dressage is an art, as the quest for aesthetic movements plays a dominant role. It is a harmonious discipline, and involves not only the horse’s elegance and natural balance but also a perfect understanding of its rider.

FEI EUROPEAN PARA-DRESSAGE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2013
Para-Equestrian Dressage is the only Equestrian discipline that is included in the Paralympic Games, where it has been a regular fixture since 1996.

With the idea of creating opportunities for all people with disabilities to compete and achieve their goals in equestrian sport, athletes are classified according to the level of their disability/impairment so as to provide for meaningful competition.
