2014 Eventing Christmas Quiz Part 1

It’s time to unwind, relax, eat, drink and be merry wherever you are in the world. But when you’re bored of watching Carols by Candlelight or need something to ruminate on after a long lunch, whether in front of a log fire or on the beach, we have just the thing. Our Christmas quiz is the true test of your international eventing knowledge – just get some friends together or give it a go by yourself. Each day from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve we’ll be bringing you questions to keep the eventing fun going during the holidays.

All of the answers can be found on An Eventful Life. If you’re stuck, try using our Search facility (also located on the side bar of most pages) but sometimes it might just need you to remember what you have read during the year!

The quiz is just for fun – no prizes – but we’ll be really impressed if anyone gets them all correct! Each question carries a score and we’ll publish the answers on January 1st 2015

Happy quizzing!
