About the World Cup from http://www.saddleseatworldcupusa.com

The International Saddle Seat World Cup showcases the Saddle Seat style of riding, our American breeds of horses and our American athletes, as well as talented international competitors.
 
The International Saddle Seat World Cup is an equestrian competition with its roots in the early 1980's. Since being formalized as a multi-national competition in 1996, the event regularly hosts five nations, with several new countries nearing entrance to the event. The competition typically features athletes from the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Namibia, and South Africa. Australia, Germany and Sweden are working towards participation in the event in the near future.
The competition is unique and very American since the style of riding in the competition was developed here in the United States in the 1800's.
 
Whereas most equestrian competitions involve best individual times completed or heights attained, this event is distinguished by featuring amateur riders competing for individual scores that accumulate towards a total team score. Thus equestrian competition, which is generally viewed as an individual sport, moves into the realm of team competition in the Saddle Seat World Cup event. Both Three- and Five-Gaited equitation are represented in the Saddle Seat World Cup. All five participating nations will be competing in Three-Gaited competition, while most countries are fielding teams for the Five-Gaited event.
