and what does the stars mean?
The letters refer to French words which, when translated, mean “international cross country competition”. The stars are indications of the difficulty level in the competition. 3 and 4 stars indicated advanced level, one and two stars preliminary and intermediate levels. Rolex, Badminton, Burghley, and a few other events in Europe are all four star events- that means they are advanced and represent the highest level of competition. Examples of 3 star events include Fair Hill, Fox Hall, High Prarie, The Event at Rebecca Farm in Montana, and several others. One and two star events include most of the horse trials, and various events which are run at Preliminary level.
The reason French words and letters are used in this sport has a lot to do with the FEI itself. The sport’s governing body is based and has its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland- and the Swiss have multiple official languages, including English and French, which get used on score sheets and other documents used in competition. This also is not confined solely to eventing- all of the other recognized FEI disciplines also use French terms. International dressage competitions, for example, are called CDIO’s, and international show jumping competitions are called CSIO’s. Both of these terms also have stars after them which indicate difficulty level.
