Equestrian sports were first included in the Olympic Games in the Summer Olympics of 1900 in Paris.[1] They were again included in 1912, and have been included in every subsequent edition of the Games.[2] Currently, the Olympic equestrian disciplines are dressage, eventing, and show-jumping.[3] In each discipline, both individual and team medals are awarded. Since the XV Olympiad in Helsinki in 1952, women and men compete on equal terms.[2]
Together with the equestrian component of Modern Pentathlon, it is the only Olympic event that involves animals.[4] The horses are considered to be athletes as much as the riders.[citation needed]
The international governing body for equestrian sports is the Fédération Équestre Internationale. The first Olympics held under its authority were in 1924.[citation needed]
