US Olympic equestrian team

The US Olympic equestrian team competes in three disciplines: dressage, eventing, and jumping. Athletes and their horses are selected through national trials and rankings, combining skill, training, and teamwork. The team represents the United States at the Olympics, aiming for excellence in horsemanship, coordination, and precision. Each member must meet strict qualification standards, and the team competes both individually and collectively to earn medals. The sport emphasizes a strong partnership between rider and horse, with a focus on discipline, trust, and high-level performance under pressure.
