That was the 1900 Games in Paris, France. Three events were contested, individual show jumping, high jump, and long jump. There was no equestrian in the 1904 and 1908 Games. It made its comeback in 1912 and has been a part of the Olympics ever since.

According to archaeologists, horse racing began in ancient Greece, Babylon, Syria, and Egypt. The first races began in ancient Greek Olympics by 648 BC. In that time, the major important racers were chariot and mounted.

No one invented it, it started so long ago that no one knows the true person to first ride a horse. But much of riding today came from World War 1 where the horses were used as transportation, or I guess a tank in a sense.

What is more dangerous riding a horse or riding in a helicopter?

considering that in horseback riding you are sitting on a 1600 pound animal with a mind of its own, im thinking compared to boxing, horseback riding is far more dangerous. im not sure what the statistics are for boxing but in horseback riding, over 100,000 people are mildly to seriously injured a year and over 20 die a year from it. I hope this answers your question :) But then again, horses don't intentionally try to hurt you. In boxing, the entire point of it is to hurt the competitor.
