Many riders start in 4-H, Pony Club, or other riding clubs. You could also compete in schooling shows or on a high school or college team.
Equestrian. No matter how great a rider you are, you must have an equine partner. That is where the expense begins.
Men and women do compete against one another in Olympic equestrian and sailing events.
The Russian Empire's first Olympics was the 1900 Games in Paris. Four athletes were entered in two sports (fencing, equestrian) and they won no medals. Russia also competed in the 1908 and 1912 Games. After the Russian Revolution in 1917 and the subsequent creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Russians would not compete in another Olympics until 1952. Russians competed under the USSR flag between 1952-1988. Upon the fall of the Soviet Union, the first Olympics that Russia competed in as a country was the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer.

Narwhals don't actually compete in the Olympics, but if they did they would come top in the swimming/diving events.

All the contestants would compete for an Olympic medal !
I don't believe there are age restrictions; if you can qualify you can compete. You would have to be a unique talent to compete against the young dynamos that make it to the Olympic games.

Hope this helps :D
Masquerading as a man, which would be difficult an athletes competed naked.
It was mentioned today after the 500m short track race that he would not be returning for the next Olympics, however, if he is in the shape to be able to compete in 4 years I think he'll be right back out on that ice.
