Equestrian events, Beas River , 1984

The photo shows cross-country riding at Beas River in 1984. Cross-country requires both horse and rider to be in excellent physical shape and, above all, trust of each other. The competitors have to ride over different obstacles, including fences solidly built with natural objects, and water obstacles, such as ponds, streams, ditches, drops and banks which can commonly be found in the countryside.
