In this photo you can see Brigid with her horse Austin, about to plunge into the water. Water obstacles are common in eventing. On the cross country course she might jump anything from a stack of brush, to a picnic table or a stone wall.
Riders who enjoy eventing say galloping over a cross country course is exhilarating and addicting. Event riders spend a lot of time training and preparing their horses for competitions and it takes 100% dedication to be successful.
* Is Austin a piebald or skewbald? Answer through the comments. All people who guess correctly will have their name put in a hat and one winner will be drawn. Winner gets a $15 gift certificate to Anytimetack.com.
I think it is a skewbald because it has a chestnut coat with white patches. It only looks like a piebald because the horse is being worked over a cross country course and it is sweating.

I think it is a piebald, which is black and white.
