Day 3~Equestrian!🐴~Sport Specifics

At first I was very confused at what kind of sport is Equestrian, turns out Equestrian is an Olympic sport. Equestrian is a lot similar to horse back riding but with a lot more jumping.

Aim of the game

There are three different disciplines – dressage, jumping and eventing – in which riders must avoid accumulating(building up) penalty points for errors. -https://www.rio2016.com/en/equestrian


2 rules of Equestrian 

  • Horses must be at least 9 years old to compete for the Olympic competition. 
  • A bell is used to verify the rider that their is some sort of interruption, or the rider is eliminated and when they enter the arena.

Hi Luisa,

Wow! I had no idea that the horses had to be at least nine years old before they could compete at the Olympics. Is this rule the same for all equestrian event categories?

Cheers, Rachel :)
