Equestrian

Equestrian is the only Olympic sport where man and animal are established team mates, and one of the few sports where men and women compete on equal terms.

Four equestrian disciplines are included in the 15th Asian Games: dressage, eventing, jumping and endurance.
Dressage

Dressage is the most elegant equestrian discipline, with a horse performing set movements or tests in response to its rider's signals.

The event is conducted over three rounds. In the first two, horse and rider perform a set routine of dressage movements, including passages, pirouettes and piaffes in a walk, trot and canter. The third round is freestyle, with routines individually choreographed and performed to music.
