What fitness requirements do eventers have to have?

[ChasingTheDream]

Hi - I am doing a PE assignment, about the phsical componenents needed for a certain sport, and I've chosen three day eventing.

I was wondering if anyone could think of any physical, or skill relates components needed to be an eventer.

So far I have got quite a few, but just thought there might be some I've missed off, oh and Im doing about the horses fitness too

Any replies greatly appreciated x

At Harpury Mark Todd ran round the XC on foot and lapped us twice as we were walking it so I guess he is pretty fit! I was pooped walking it once!
