the comps are going to vary. the horse is most likely in an ec with a shower. energy usage is 10% less.

The competitions with the most obvious differences in energy requirements are the ones like Cross country and show jumping, where the length of the course as well as difficulty will probably make a difference to the energy requirements.

While this is true, a shower won't take a 18% energy comp down to 10.8%; it will take a 20% to 18% or 12% to 10.8%
