Equestrian – Dressage, Eventing, Jumping at the 2012 Olympics Alternative Accommodation

Equestrian – Dressage, Eventing, Jumping held at Greenwich Park Venue Affordable Holiday Accommodation outside london for Olympic Visitors

Equestrian sport can be traced back more than 2,000 years, when the Greeks introduced dressage training to prepare their horses for war. Classical dressage reached its peak with the development of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, which laid the basis for the elegant, graceful sport practised today. There are three distinct parts to the Eventing competition: dressage, which illustrates the harmony between horse and rider; cross-country riding, which requires speed, power and nerve; and jumping, which calls for precision, agility and impeccable technique. The combination tests every element of horsemanship, and offers the spectator plenty of excitement along the way.
