EQUESTRIAN AT THE SUMMER OLYMPICS

'Equestrianism' made its 'Summer Olympics' debut at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. It disappeared until 1912, then appeared at every Olympics edition after that. Current competitions authorized at the Olympics are Dressage, the Three-Day Event and Stadium Jumping. In each discipline, both individual and team medals are awarded.

Although initially only men who were also military cavalry officers could compete in Equestrian events, and the IOC did not allow women or even civilian men to compete until the 1952 Summer Olympics, Equestrian is now one of the very few Olympic events where individual men and women compete directly against one another with no split of men's and women's divisions. In team competition, there is no requirement for mixed divisions with balanced numbers of men and women; a team may have any mix of male and female competitors. Equestrian and the Equestrian component of Modern Pentathlon are also the only Olympic events that involve animals. The horse is as much an athlete as the humans.
