Rolex is a three-day, four-star tournament that takes place every year in Lexington, Kentucky. Some of the world’s best event horses and riders will compete at this important event. Rolex is the only four-star event competition routinely hosted in the Western Hemisphere, according to the competition’s official website.
Eventing involves three distinct phases, each of which occurs on a separate day. Horse and rider must perform a complex set of moves with great precision in the first phase. The horse’s movement, fluidity, and rhythmic cadence are all taken into consideration while evaluating the rider’s signals.
The cross-country course is on the second day. Large, sturdy obstacles are spaced out over a natural outdoor course for horses and riders to negotiate. A failure to finish the course within the allotted time will result in time penalties, lowering their overall ranking.
Final show-jumping phase awaits horses and riders the following day after completing the challenging cross-country race Because they can be knocked over with the brush of a hoof or a leg, they must be extremely careful when crossing towering fences. The three-day event, which was created to be the ultimate challenge for horse and rider, is a true test for the world’s top equestrian athletes. Final score determines who wins the battle between horse and rider.
Rolex is a goal for some riders for the rest of their careers. As a rider, you have a unique perspective on this once-in-a-lifetime event thanks to this helmet-mounted video camera
