Horse lingo 001

In college I took math 001. I am not proud of this but now that I made it through, I can admit it.

The wiggidy wiggidy wack part is that I took it multiple times.

How many times I won't admit.

The hardest part of math was attending.

Any ways, a remedial horse lingo post has been requested. So here goes.....

Eventing-the horse triathlon.

the three phases are...........

Dressage-french word for training

dres·sage/drəˈsäZH/

Noun: The art of riding and training a horse in a manner that develops obedience, flexibility, and balance.

Beasts definition of dressage is "wiggidy wack"

Cross Country-the reason eventers event

Here is the wikipedia def-

requires both horse and rider to be in excellent physical shape and to be brave and trusting of each other. This phase consists of approximately 12–20 fences (lower levels), or 30–40 at the higher levels, placed on a long outdoor circuit. These fences consist of very solidly built natural objects (telephone poles, stone walls, etc.) as well as various obstacles such as ponds and streams, ditches, drops and banks, and combinations including several jumping efforts based on objects that would commonly occur in the countryside.

Beast definition of cross country is WORD UP.
