By the dressage test included some collected walk, trot and canter. Extended trot, counter canter and 4, 3, 2 and 1 time tempi changes. In Piaffe and Passage were included in the test. By canter pirouettes and 5 loop serpentines were added to the test. At the Olympics Renvers, half pass, tempi changes and canter pirouettes were included in the test and Piaffe and passage were removed due to the lack of preparation time available before the Olympic games due to world war 2.
In men and women civilians were allowed to compete as well as cavalry officers. In the Grand Prix Freestyle was introduced. The freestyle gives the rider the chance to put together their own sequence of set movements and then put them to their own choice of music. The format for today's dressage is firstly the Grand Prix Dressage test to decides the team medals. This is then followed by the Grand Prix Special whereby the top 13 competitors go forward to the Grand Prix Freestyle which determines the individual medals.
The eventing program was held over 5 days. The first day was the endurance phase which involved doing 55 km within 4 hours on the roads followed by a 5 km cross country course. The horses were given a day off on the second day. On the third day a 3. The fourth day was the Jumping Test which involved around 15 jumps of 1.
The fifth and final day involved a dressage test which was much simpler than that of modern tests today and all the horses were to be ridden in a double bridle. At the Olympics horses also had to carry a minimum weight of pounds, which is approximately At the games the Dressage test was completely removed.
The first day had the endurance test which was reduced from 55 km to 45 km and was to be completed within 3. In the case of disqualification of any horse or rider, the whole team is disqualified and may take no further part.
No substitutions can be made during the individual qualifier, in which three combinations from each nation are permitted, or individual final. But between the end of the individual final and up to two hours before the start of the first team competition, combinations may be changed and one substitution may be made between the end of the team qualifier and the start of the team final.
No substitutions are allowed for a jump-off, however. The most common injuries sustained by jumping horses are; suspensory ligament damage, front foot lameness, and joint deterioration. Each of these poses a risk of chronic health issues and lameness. Horses running wild rarely jump over anything.
If they have an obstacle in their path, they are most likely to veer around it. The ability of horses to jump obstacles is dependant on the amount of energy transferred across their joints.
Four joints are used in combination when jumping, the hip, ankle, knee, and fetlock or MP joint. The human high jump record is just slightly less than a horse. In Javier Sotomayor set a new world high jump record with a leap of 8 feet. Remember, the jumping record for a horse set in by Huaso ex-Faithful is 8 ft 1.
He cleared six-foot during a county fair in Pea Ridge in Competitive mule jumping is nothing like showjumping competitions. Mules saunter to a bar, stop, and leap over it from a stationary position without a rider. Nearby there is a deer farm surrounded by 10 foot fences. It seems this would be plenty high enough to keep in even the highest jumpers.
But that is not always the case. Whitetail deer are known to jump as high as 12 feet, but there are reports that some can clear even higher obstacles. A Look at Swaybacks.
