Upcoming CCE Competitions
CCE has been created to provide an equestrian sport that rewards the partnership between highly trained and capable horses and highly skilled, knowledgeable riders. The sport is based on the horse and rider completing a course, generally through an open countryside setting, at pace, and selecting the obstacles they choose to attempt based on the partnership’s strengths and specific situation.
Guide to the types of competition below. These are Confirmed CCE competitions.
