Eventing results

[edit]

The eventers complete a 3-star level dressage test, stadium, and cross-country course. 5 teams competed in the eventing competition: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, and the United States.

After the dressage test, the United States led with 143.40 penalty points, closely followed by Canada with 159.90 penalties, then host country Brazil with 173.20 in third, Argentina in 4th, and Chile in 5th.

The cross-country course was designed by Sue Benson of Great Britain. Run over 10 minutes, the 5,700-meter course had 27 obstacles and a total of 41 jumping efforts. After the cross-country phase, the Americans were in the gold medal position, with 154.80 penalties, followed by Canada with 177.10 penalty points, and bronze-medal placed Brazil with 192.60. Of the 26 horses which began cross-country, 21 finished. The teams from Argentina and Chile were eliminated during the cross-country phase.

All 21 horses made it through Sunday jog, moving on to the stadium course. Designed by Brazilian Guilherme Jorge, it was composed of 12 jumps with 15 obstacles, over 490 meters. Rails were quite common, with only 4 horses finishing without jump penalties and only 3 of those four going double-clear without any time penalties. The Americans finished the competition with the gold medal, the Canadians with the silver, and Brazil with the bronze.
