Olympic Fact : The oldest woman to compete in the Olympics to date was British dressage rider Lorna Johnstone, who participated in the 1972 games aged 70.
How well do you and your steed work together? Are you both in sync and in perfect harmony? Does your companion and you read each other based on a simple hand movement or weight change? Time to put it to the test!
How to Play
In this event there will be three separate stages held throughout the day, as I explain the stages and give out the time for each, please consider the ones that you can participate in and let me know ASAP for the ones you will be playing in for your team as for one stage there will need to be at least 2 people playing for each team. In this thread I’m going based off KST, if you are wondering what the times would be for your timezone please try this time converter.
In each stage you will have a different number of tasks that you will need to complete, any time your team and horse do something incorrectly you will be given a penalty of either -0.5 or -1 (depending on which stage it is). But you also have a chance of earning points. The team with the best overall score after all stages are the winners.
Begins at : 6 AM on August 20th (KST)
Dressage is about many things, the horse maintaining it’s beauty and grace while performing “canters”, “trots”, “airs” and more. Horses are scored higher with how well they deliver these movements and paces.
For this stage it’s a relatively simple idea. It will take place in your team chats, your team will be given a zoomed in image of an idol's makeup and you must correctly guess who the idol is to begin the main part of the stage. You will be able to guess 3 times. If you don’t manage to guess correctly you’ll be given a penalty of -1. After correctly or incorrectly guessing your team can begin the main task of this stage which is… Counting to 30. But wait, that’s it!? Not exactly. This stage is all about pacing, remember? Your team needs to count to 30 in the ideal time frame.. which you will not be told of what that is. This is the difficult part, your team must go at a pace that will get you to #30 in the best time possible. Not too slow but not too fast either. All that I can tell you is:
-The ideal time frame is somewhere between 1 - 25 minutes.
-Once I give your team the zoomed in image that means the time starts.
-At one point in the stage I will tell all teams to restart counting at a different number (it will be the same for both teams).
-Whenever your team hits 30, that is your final time, you can’t go back.
If your team manages to count to 30 in the ideal time frame, your team will be awarded 3 points.
If your team counts to 30 but it’s not in the ideal time frame you will only be given 1 point. This is the same if a team does not manage to count to 30 at all within the 25 minutes.
So this stage is all about pacing, before it begins I will let both teams come up with their strategies and whatnot if you’d all like, or you can just wing it and hope for the best.
The only rule in this stage you need to keep in mind is that your team can't go without counting for more than 3 minutes, if that happens you’ll be given a penalty.

Speed, speed, how fast will you be?
This is the stage where at least two team members need to be present, if that is unable to happen I will make changes so that it can still be done. Both teams will be given the same 5 tasks, and based off which team finishes first will be given these points:
1st - 3 Points
2nd - 2 Points
Tasks can be completed in any order that you wish, and can be worked on at the same time with your multiple team members. There is also no possibility of getting a penalty unless your team somehow cheats.

Will you, your team and steed be able to perfectly clear each hurdle? You’ll need to focus on instructions and sudden changes fast to do well.
This will be the most difficult stage, you will need to be paying lots of attention to sudden instructions from me to do well. To put it simply this will be a rapid fire instruction stage.
Example: “You & Panda make some kind of collab thread that’s not a Q&A.”
(Few seconds later)
“Wait! Instead just go ahead and make a Q&A thread”.
The instructions will be the same for each team and will just be given here in this thread to hopefully limit too much confusion lol. With each mistake your team will be given a penalty of -0.5.
Depending on who is first you will be given the following points:
1st : 4 Points
2nd : 3 Points
