The History of Olympic Equestrian Events Ancient Olympic Games Dressage Three Day Event Fantastic Photo Gallery ... Related Links An Overview The Ancient Olympic Games The Ancient Olympic Games were held in the Valley of Olympia in Greece beginning in 776 B.C. These ancient games were held every four years for almost 1200 years. The Modern Olympic Games Inspired by the Ancient Games, the Modern Olympic Games were first held in 1896. There were 245 athletes (all men) competing in 43 events. These Modern Olympic Games were inspired by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, and did not include any equestrian sports. Equestrian Events were not added as a full status sport until 1912. In 1912, 27 starters from 7 nations competed in each of three Equestrian Events, Dressage, Eventing and Show Jumping, over a 5-day period of time. For the first half-century of Olympic Competition equestrian sports were solely represented by the military. The Dressage Event The art of Dressage is often compared to the ballet. A rider must execute precise maneuvers with a high degree of accuracy on a very fit horse. The judges evaluate not only the horse's performance, but the rider's ability to communicate with his or her mount. The more skillful the rider the less obvious his instructions to the horse will be. The Three Day Event This portion of the Olympic Competition is the most challenging, and traditionally has been the United States strongest event. It is designed to be a grueling test of both the horse and rider. The Three Day Event is patterned to highlight the qualities of a premium military mount, the horse must be responsive, obedient, bold, and athletic, with enormous physical and mental stamina. As its name indicates, this event consists of three phases, they are Dressage, Cross-country and Obstacle course, and Stadium Jumping.

Olympic truce A game for a God Once upon a time the Olympics was an event that started in order to honour the mythical God Zeus, the father of Greek Gods. From the beginning the Olympics was a local competition but later on more and more Greek city states participated. 293 events were organized during almost twelve centuries. The Olympic area was a combination of temples, halls and the stadium. The Temple of Zeus was one of the Seven Wonders of the World with a 40 feet high statue in gold and ivory of the god. A game for freeborn Greek In a beautiful valley, at the city of Olympia in the state of Elis, 320 km west of Athens, the first organised Olympic Games were held 776 BC.

Swedish Warmblood Olympic History The Olympic Games provide very striking proof of the success of Swedish horses on the international scene. Equestrian events at the Olympics were founded in 1912 by the Swedish horseman Clarence Von Rosen. Swedish horses have experienced extraordinary success ever since, especially in Dressage and the Three-Day Event. With the exception of the Moscow Olympics, Swedish horses have been in the medals at every game! The Seoul Games in 1988 saw special success when 13 Swedish Warmbloods competed in Dressage with 6 winning medals. The Rome Olympiad in 1960 was another banner year, with 6 sons of the Swedish stallion Drabant participating. Here follows a list of all the Equestrian Medal winners in the Olympics with Swedish participants highlighted: Team three-day event BARCELONA 1992 Gold - Austraila Silver - New Zealand Bronze - Germany SEOUL 1988 Gold - West Germany Silver - Great Britain Bronze - New Zealand LOS ANGELES 1984 Gold - United States Silver - Great Britian Bronze - West Germany MOSCOW 1980 Gold - Soviet Union Silver - Italy Bronze - Mexico MONTREAL 1976 Gold - United States Silver - West Germany Bronze - Austria MUNICH 1972 Gold - Great Britain Silver - United States Bronze - West Germany MEXICO CITY 1968 Gold - Great Britain Silver - United States Bronze - Austria TOKYO 1964 Gold - Italy Silver - United States Bronze - * East Germany/West Germany * team comprised of members of both nations ROME 1960 Gold - Austria Silver - Switzerland Bronze - France MELBOURNE 1956 Gold - Great Britain

Perseverance pays off for the equine Olympics A Reprint from Ride Magazine with permission By Gloria Gossard This is the second of a three-part series on the history of equine sports at the Olympic Games. This month we look at the official welcome to the Games in 1912 to its full acceptance in 1928. Count von Rosen and his fellow horsemen could well have succumbed to severe disappointment and depression with the cancellation of their equestrian events for the 1908 London Olympic Games. They preserved, however, and with the support of Baron Courbetin, president of the Olympic Congress, the horse-loving country of Sweden was selected host of the 1912 Games. As Master of the Horse in Sweden, von Rosen was now assured that a stadium large enough to hold equestrian events would be built. The enthusiasm of the Swedish riders was without bounds. Additional support came during the Olympic Congress, held in Berlin, Germany in 1909. Count d'Usseaux of Italy suggested von Rosen's three proposed events (dressage, pentathlon and the equine game Jea de Rose) be expanded to include horse racing and polo. Within a short time, the international equestrian world was buzzing with excitementthey would soon be part of the Olympiad! The Berlin conference finalized inclusion of equine events within the Olympiad. Polo replaced Jea de Rose, and the new events were named Prize Riding, Prize Jumping and The Military. The three events have since remained the basic venue for the equestrian phase, and today are listed as Dressage, Stadium Jumping and the Three-Day Event. The Pentathlon, representing other forms of athletic prowess, was moved to a separate venue. All the equine sports were geared to cavalrymen from various nations, since civilian riders were not eligible to compete at the time.
