Triple Creek has a long history of supporting Area IX (our region) with eventing, and has always had a small cross country course and used to hold full trials! Becca Caulfield is our head trainer and has been passionate about the sport of Eventing and especially developing riders and horses for safety and successfully competing in the sport. Becca has been a competitor for 12 years and been on the board of Area IX for 3 years

While we do attend Dressage and Jumper shows for traveling, these are in supplement to the Horse Trials for the USEA (United States Eventing Association). A rider at TCR who has competitive goals will thrive if their goals are in the sport of Eventing.

Eventing is a triathlon type sport in which one horse and rider combination compete in three disciplines for a combined score. The three disciplines featured in Eventing are Dressage, Cross Country and Show Jumping. While Dressage and Show Jumping are stand alone sports in their own right, the only way to participate in Cross Country (jumping solid fences and questions over terrain and distances) is through Eventing.

Eventing originated as a sport in the military with each of the three disciplines showcasing a specific skill set for horse and rider. Dressage stems from the parade aspect of the Calvary, Cross Country imitates battle readiness and bravery, and Show Jumping illustrates the careful, athletic ability of jumping fragile fences.

The sport of Eventing has traditionally been one of the more affordable sports, accepting of any breed, age, and supportive of all participants. These ideals are in line with the TCR mission and values, foster a healthy competitive rider, and support life skills outside of riding.
