Some athletes are good at lifting heavy weights. The full range of the horse’s ability will be on display at the F.E.I. World Equestrian Games in Tryon, N.C., from Tuesday through Sept. 23, during which horses and riders from around the world will compete. The games will include eight of them: dressage, driving, eventing, para-equestrian dressage, vaulting, endurance, show jumping and reining. This year, the games will offer riders in several of those disciplines the chance to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020.
