Olympic Equestrian

Olympic Equestrian refers to the equestrian events included in the Olympic Games, which showcase the skillful partnership between horse and rider. There are three main disciplines: Dressage, where riders perform precise movements to demonstrate training and harmony; Jumping, which involves navigating a course of obstacles; and Eventing, a combination of dressage, cross-country riding, and show jumping, assessing versatility and endurance. Equestrian events emphasize both athleticism and artistry, with athletes competing at the highest level on horses specially trained for their respective disciplines. This sport has been a part of the Olympics since the early 1900s.
