Express Eventing International Cup

Hmm, just came across something rather interesting...British Eventing says:

The equestrian sport of eventing is to be showcased as never before with the launch of a fast-paced, glamorous new form of the sport. Express Eventing will condense all the skills and excitement of traditional eventing into just half a day inside an enclosed sporting arena.

For the very first time, spectators will be able to watch all three disciplines – dressage, show jumping and cross-country - from one seat, and follow the progress of every horse and rider at each stage of the competition. Helped by expert commentaries, stadium audio visual technology and a simplified scoring system, they will know exactly what each competitor needs to do to win.

Oh dear I can't say I like the sound of that much.

Might not be too bad. I guess we will see how it goes but I think Eventing really needs to refresh its image and (sadly) be more sponsors friendly to be able to survive.
