Olympic Equestrian: The Sports and the Stories from Stockholm to Sydney Jennifer O. Bryant Few sights are as enthralling as rider and horse, in perfect partnership, riding for the glory of their country. Whether it is the thrill of cross-country, the bravado of show jumping, or the elegance of dressage, the Olympic equestrian disciplines offer horsemanship and athleticism at the highest levels. Olympic Equestrian chronicles the origins of the three-day event, show jumping, and dressage and their segue into the mainstream Olympic games. Author Jennifer O. Bryant relates the important developments that have shaped the horse world and equestrian competition as we know it today. She also shares the stories of such great Olympic partnerships as Mark Todd and Charisma, Hans Gunter Winkler and Halla, and Nicole Uphoff and Rembrandt. In addition, Bryant discusses how the Games are organized, teams selected, and horses transported.

An Army of Horses Homepage The Army Equestrian Olympic Team Part 2 Lieutenant Tommy Thomson on Jenny Camp Finishing the Cross Country Course enroute to a Silver Individual and Gold Team Medal (USET) Captain Thomson and Jenny Camp were toward the rear of the starting order and by the time of their start the pond had unhorsed dozens of riders. The word was filtering back not to jump to the right. With this insight Thomson and Jenny jumped to the left, stumbled slightly, but made it through with no faults. They completed the course without serious problems. All totaled, only fifteen of forty-eight horses negotiated the number four obstacle with no difficulty. Twenty-eight horses fell, and three refused to jump at all. The obstacle injured three horses so badly they had to be destroyed while dozens of others lost confidence or at a minimum lost time on the course due to the experience. One rider had to chase his horse for several miles before mounting and continuing on. The Berlin Olympic Team Captain C.C. Jadwin, Major W.B. Bradford, Major Hiram Tuttle, Captain I.L. Kitts

An Army of Horses Homepage The Army Equestrian Olympic Team Part 1 The dressage competition is a test of the ability of rider and horse and rider to precisely execute various gaits and movements. There is no jumping in dressage. The second of the three Olympic competitions, jumping, is perhaps the best known in the US and was practiced widely in the US prior to the Olympic games. In the Olympic jumping competition, also know as the Prix de Nations (Prize of the Nations), the rider follows a prescribed course within an enclosed stadium, jumping artificial obstacles. Captain Guy V. Henry on Chiswell (Gruenther) Because of his European experience, Captain Henry knew that his Army issued mounts would not be able to challenge the precisely bred European horses. He determined that the key to winning was superb conditioning of the horses, and even more important, accurate riding of the three day event. The team trained rigorously through the late winter and into the early summer of 1912, despite being handicapped by their late start, the severe winter conditions at Fort Riley, a time limitation of one and a half hours a day of riding hall use, and by the fact that three of its members, Captain Henry included, were required to continue their usual military duties as they prepared. The 1912 Military Bronze Medal Team Benjamin Lear on Poppy , John Montgomery on Deceive , and Guy Henry on Chiswell In 1924 at the Paris Olympics the US team followed much the same pattern as in Antwerp. Major Sloan Doak riding Pathfinder picked up an individual bronze medal in eventing, but the team, which was positioned for a silver, was eliminated due to a miscue on the course. The 1928 games in Amsterdam were again a story of close but unhappy out-comes for the Americans. The eventing team once again positioned for silver but was eliminated because of a course error. Thus, for three efforts in he 1920s the US was able to produce only a single bronze individual medal.

Only commissioned officers were allowed to compete in the three-day eventing, and just a few civilians were involved in the showjumping and dressage. Eventing began as a test of the cavalry horse, and the term dressage comes from the French word for training, using moves developed for the battlefield and parade ground. The jumping events evolved from the fox hunting tradition, and the first competitions were held in Ireland in the 19th century by the Royal Dublin Society. Equestrian events made their Olympic debut in Paris in 1900, when a long jump and high jump for horses were held for the only time. The modern program of events was introduced in 1912, and - other than a one-off vaulting event in 1920 - was little different to the current format of individual and team events in dressage, showjumping and three-day eventing.

Olympic Rings The Olympic symbolfive interlocked ringsrepresents the union of the five original major continents (Africa, America, Asia, Australia and Europe) and the meeting of the athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. The five colors of the rings from left to right are blue, black and red across the top and yellow and green along the bottom. The colors of the rings are thought to have been chosen because at least one of these colors can be found in the flag of every nation. Olympic Flag The Olympic Flag has a plain white background with no border. In the center are the five interlocked Olympic rings. The flag was presented by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1914 at the Olympic Congress is 1914, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the International Olympic Committee. It was flown that year at Alexandria, Greece, but made its Olympic debut in 1920 at Antwerp. The "primary" Olympic flag was thus known as "the Antwerp flag." In 1984, Seoul presented a new Olympic flag (as the old was getting quite worn) to the IOC, which was first flown at the 1988 Olympic Games.

Olympic truce A game for a God Once upon a time the Olympics was an event that started in order to honour the mythical God Zeus, the father of Greek Gods. From the beginning the Olympics was a local competition but later on more and more Greek city states participated. 293 events were organized during almost twelve centuries. The Olympic area was a combination of temples, halls and the stadium. The Temple of Zeus was one of the Seven Wonders of the World with a 40 feet high statue in gold and ivory of the god. A game for freeborn Greek In a beautiful valley, at the city of Olympia in the state of Elis, 320 km west of Athens, the first organised Olympic Games were held 776 BC. The games took place every four years and were open only for freeborn Greek men. Most of the athletes came in the beginning from wealthy families because they had to pay their own expenses.
