Coverage takes in race results and purse totals, show jumping and dressage competition outcomes, Triple Crown campaign coverage across the three races and their intervals, Olympic equestrian team selection and results, breeding and ownership news and the welfare and doping cases that generate accountability coverage within the sport. Triple Crown campaigns generate the sport's widest mainstream coverage, with a contender's progression from the first race through the third drawing audiences that do not follow racing the rest of the year. Horse welfare and anti-doping proceedings have become more prominent subjects in equestrian coverage, with medication violations, training practices and transport and competition conditions all attracting regulatory and advocacy attention. Olympic equestrian disciplines occupy a different audience than racing, with show jumping and dressage drawing coverage in the context of the Games that they rarely receive outside them, creating a quadrennial spike in equestrian coverage with a distinct audience.
