Skyline Eventing thrills equestrians in Mt. Pleasant

By Staff | May 1, 2019

Skyline Eventing Park, south end of Mt. Pleasant, is Utah’s premier cross country facility offering horse race tracks from introductory skill levels through preliminary level.

The Skyline Eventing Committee encourages all to come experience the thrill of eventing during the summer of 2019. Spectators are welcome to attend all of the events and clinics with free admission at Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center and ConToy Arena, 1000 South 955 West, Mt. Pleasant.

The sport of eventing is likened to the equestrian triathlon where horse and riders tackle three phases of competition. Dressage demonstrates the training of the horse under saddle.

Cross country is a test of endurance and physicality where horses and riders jump solid elements at a high rate of speed. Show jumping shows the grace of the horse by jumping rails and fences.
