What is this type of horse show called?

[PaulaO]

Dressage and show jumping. I was calling it combined training, but that involves an eventing course. My mind is completely blank on this. You do a dressage test first, then a show jump course.

Two phase?

I thought it was called combined training? And the full one (dressage/cross country/show jump) was a three-day event. But I am no expert.

[PaulaO]

I thought it was combined training also. In the olden days CT was a synonym for 3DE. Maybe the terminology has changed. My local group is IDCTA (IL Dressage and CT).

It is called a combined test. Combined Training is what Eventing used to be called, and that is where you have all three phases.

[StraightForward]

We have schooling type shows here like that called Event Derbies. Sometimes they are stadium and sometimes Xcountry all in one day, vs. a 2 or 3 day event.
