How is the WC decided in the field competition?

The field competition consists of three parts;

dressage, cross-country riding and show jumping.

The team championship and the individual championship are decided within the same class where all starters compete individually, but where four pre-selected crews for each nation also form a team.

Among them, the three best final results are then added together.

Dressage and show jumping are ridden in the same way as in the traditional individual disciplines, but with a lower degree of difficulty.

During the off-road ride, which is the part that characterizes the field competition, you have to tackle around 30 fixed obstacles spread over approximately seven kilometers in nature, at a pace of 570 meters per minute.

That pace can be compared to the pace for show jumping, which is usually 375 m/minute.

Keeping the pace and thus passing the time is one of the difficulties.

In the introductory dressage, a predetermined program is ridden, and the movements are assessed by judges on a scale of one to ten points.

The team then receives a penalty point which is calculated based on the result in relation to the maximum score.

For example, if the team ends up with 80 percent of the maximum points in dressage, you get 20.0 penalty points.

Penalty points are then added to that for any errors during the cross-country ride and the jumping.

In the off-road stage, for example, you get 20 penalty points per refusal and 0.4 for every second you exceed the maximum time.

In show jumping, you get 4 penalty points for refusal or demolition, as well as 0.4 for every second over the maximum time.

If the team is flawless on obstacles in the terrain, keeps the pace 570 m/second and rides flawlessly in the jumping, it stops at the penalty points for the dressage.

The team with the lowest total penalty points after the three stages wins individually and the team with the three best combined final results wins as a team.

Sweden's most famous eventing rider is Sara Algotsson Ostholt, who won individual silver at the London Olympics.

She took part in winning bronze for Sweden at the 2021 European Championship, but is not in the squad for the 2022 World Cup.
