In all three equestrian disciplines show jumping, dressage and eventing men and women compete head-to-head. The horses are the athletes. Of all the Olympic sports, only equestrian events and sailing allow the men and women such an opportunity. Women have excelled in show jumping in recent years. The United States sent four women to compete in the 2000 Olympic Games at Sydney; it marked a first, since equestrian sports are male-dominated in the rest of the world. Margie Goldstein-Engle, Nona Garson, Laura Kraut and Lauren Hough finished sixth as a team four years ago. Now, Hough and Engle are back to qualify for the Athens Games this summer.

Search Emmitsburg.net The Olympic Sport of Eventing Michael Hillman The Equestrian sport of combined training, or 'Eventing', traces its origin to the days when each country depended upon the cavalry in battle and horses were a vital part of the Army. Friendly boasting at the end of a day's campaign as to the relative courage, speed, and stamina of particular horses evolved into a series of tests to prove these claims. In track and field, the decathlon represents the ultimate in testing the all-around skill of an athlete. In equestrian sport, combined training is considered the ultimate test. This competition encompasses three separate tests (hence, its name): dressage, endurance, and show jumping, each scored individually but added together for the final score. Unlike other sports where only the human will and body are working against the clock, in combined training, two minds and bodies have to work as one, and a true partnership between horse and rider is necessary to win.

Choose Your Sport Olympic Season Summer Sports Winter Sports Aquatics Athletics Archery Badminton ... Wrestling EQUESTRIAN About Equestrian events were included in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1900 and then in 1912, in a format very similar to that which will be used at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. Equestrian consists of three disciplines: Jumping, Dressage and Eventing (Three-Day Event). EQUESTRIAN - Dressage Equestrian is the only Olympic sport where man and animal are established team-mates, and one of the few where men and women compete on equal terms. It is the ultimate in team sports, a horse and rider working together for years to hone feats of grace, daring, agility and speed. Chariot races and horse riding appeared in Greece's ancient Games, but most of the equestrian programme as we know it began in the Olympic Games of 1912. It includes three disciplines - dressage, jumping and three-day event - each with individual and team competition. COMPETITION Often described as horses performing ballet, dressage has changed little since the Renaissance. The term stems from a French word for training, and European cavalrymen developed the idea for use on the battlefield and the parade ground. The horse performs set movements, or tests, in response to its rider's subtle aids and signals. The event is conducted over three rounds. In the first two, horse and rider perform a set routine of dressage movements, including passages, pirouettes and piaffes in a walk, trot and canter. The third round is freestyle, with routines individually choreographed and performed to music.
