From the chariot races of ancient Greece to today's dressage, eventing, and show jumping competitions, horses have been part of the Olympic story for thousands of years. Along the way, the sport has continued to evolve to embrace new safety innovations, greater accessibility, and a deeper commitment to horse welfare while preserving the partnership that makes it unlike any other Olympic discipline. #theplaidhorse #olympics #olympicequestrian #equestrianhistory #dressage #eventing #showjumping #horsemanship #horseandrider #horsecommunity #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #fei #paradressage #horsefirst #equestrianeducation #ourindustry #horsehistory #olympiclegacy #equestrianlife
