Lots of lessons and hours of practice go in to these competitions.  On all these collegiate level events, the riders never even warm-up on the horses they ride in the competition.  The horses belong to the
local college where the competition takes place.  The riders literally hop on the horse for the first time and ride into the competition ring - one more step showing their level of horsemanship.
