I N T R O D U C T I O N Equestrian sport featured on the Olympic programme for the first time at the Games of the II Olympiad in Paris in 1900. It was not staged at the next two editions of the Games, but returned in 1912. Since then, the sport has always been on the programme. Until 1948, only men could compete in the events, as the riders had to be officers. This restriction was lifted in 1951 and, since the Games of the XV Olympiad in Helsinki in 1952, women have competed with men in mixed events. They competed first in dressage, then gradually in the other equestrian events.

KEY STAGES

Entry 1894: At the Paris Congress held in June, the desire was expressed for equestrian sport to be included on the Olympic programme. 1924: At the 23rd IOC Session held in Paris in June and July, the IOC drew up a list of obligatory and optional sports. Equestrian sport was placed in the first category.

Women’s inclusion

1951: At the 46th IOC Session, held in Vienna in May, it was decided that women could henceforth compete in equestrian events.
