Equestrian - Eventing
History of Eventing
Developed to test and prepare cavalry horses in the military, Eventing has a long and colourful history. Initially, the purpose was to create a competition in which officers and horses could be tested for any challenges that could occur on or off duty. It also provided a basis for comparing training standards between the cavalries of different countries.
Eventing combines every element of horsemanship – the harmony between horse and rider of dressage, the contact with speed, natural ability and extensive experience essential for Cross Country, and the precision, agility and technique involved in jumping.
Eventing at the Games
Women have been allowed to ride in Equestrian events since 1952. However, it wasn't until the Tokyo 1964 Games that a woman first competed in Eventing, when Helena du Pont competed for the United States.
Venue: Greenwich Park
Dates: Saturday 28 July – Tuesday 31 July
