Tokyo Olympic Games Equestrian Park

Spain's Showjumping Athlets  Eduardo Álvarez Aznar (Bodegas Herederos Marqués de Riscal) and Legend (Ogano Sitte x Nabab de Reve).

TOKYO OLYMPIC Games 2021, ' Equestrian ' comprises three disciplines, entries confirmed !

Dressage, Eventing and Jumping, with men and women competing on equal terms.

Horse Polo was Olympic in the past and considerating the development of the Sport, might - should and will certainly be integrated in the Olympic Games in the near future again.


Dressage
Dressage is considered the most artistic of the equestrian sports and is used as the groundwork for all other disciplines. It tests the ability of horse and athlete to display both athletic prowess and supreme elegance by evaluating, for example, an athlete’s ability to make their horse move quickly from side to side, transition into a gallop or rapidly change direction, using subtle commands.
Sixty horse and athlete combinations take part in the Olympic Dressage events with an initial qualifying competition, the FEI Grand Prix Test, selecting the best teams and individuals for their respective finals. Made up of three horse and athlete combinations, the best eight teams advance to the FEI Grand Prix Special to Music to decide the team medals. The best 18 individual combinations go on to take part in the highly anticipated FEI Grand Prix Freestyle Test to Music, for the individual honours. All Dressage competitions take place in a rectangular arena measuring 20m x 60m.
Often compared to ballet, the intense connection between the human and equine athlete is a thing of beauty to behold. But, achieving this level of unity and competing at Olympic level takes years of practice and requires consummate skill and control.

Eventing
Eventing is often described as an equestrian triathlon. It is a discipline where each competition is composed of a Jumping, Dressage and Cross Country test to determine the final score, demanding considerable experience in different equestrian disciplines.
Sixty-five horse and athlete combinations take part in Olympic Eventing, with both team and individual competitions running concurrently. All horse and athlete combinations compete in the three rounds (Dressage, Cross Country and Jumping). These rounds determine the team medals but also define the start list for the individual final, with the 25 best combinations then taking part in a second Jumping test to crown the individual medallists. In this all-encompassing test of equestrian skill, the performances of each horse and athlete combination count as individual results, and the results of three athletes and their horses are totalled to make up the team results.
In the Cross Country test — which is unique to Eventing — approximately 40 obstacles including fences, hedges and water jumps are positioned on an undulating course. Horses and athletes cover this demanding course, which is close to 6km in length, in about 10 minutes at speeds exceeding 30kph, making for a compelling spectacle. Athletes who choose the shortest possible route may be rewarded with faster times but higher risk of failure, adding a tactical aspect to the challenge.

Jumping
Jumping is a spectacular mix of courage, control and technical ability that requires the horse and athlete combinations to complete a course with 12 to 15 “knockable” obstacles laid out in a particular order. They incur penalties for each obstacle knocked down or refused, as well as time penalties for exceeding the time allowed depending on the qualifying competition.
Seventy-five horse and athlete combinations take part in the Olympic Jumping competitions, with separate qualifying rounds leading to the team and individual Jumping finals. The individual final is open to the 30 best-placed combinations from the individual qualifier and the team final is open to the ten best-placed teams from the team qualifier.
