Equestrian was introduced to the Olympics in 1900 as a way to showcase the skills and training of both horses and riders in various disciplines. It highlighted the importance of horsemanship in military and agricultural contexts, reflecting the historical significance of horses in human civilization. The inclusion of equestrian events also aimed to promote sportsmanship and international competition among nations. Over the years, it has evolved to include multiple disciplines, including dressage, jumping, and eventing.
Three Day Eventing was first introduced to the Olympics in 1912, with women being allowed to compete in 1952 - note that the Equestrian events are the only ones where women are allowed to compete against men on equal terms
Equestrian began some 2,000 years ago, when the Greeks introduced Dressage training to prepare their horses for war. Equestrian evolved as a sport and was featured for the first time in the Olympics in 1900 in Paris, France.
