Lexington, KY The Blood-Horse, Inc. 2000 1581500440 / 9781581500448 First Edition First Printing; Softcover New
Cover is wraps. Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. 100+ color and b/w photos, some of them amazing action shots, covering the history of Olympic Equestrian Events, from Stockholm Summer games of 1912 [the first in which the equestrian disciplines were included], through to the Sydney Summer games of 2000. The disciplines covered are: Dressage; Show Jumping; and Three-Day Event. It is the only Olympic event in which men and women compete together, on equal footing, same rules. Up through the 1950s it is clear that many, if not most, of the competitors were in the military, competing in their uniforms. Women started competing in the 1950s, and they've been winning medals ever since. Foreward by the eminent voice of American equestrian sports, Capt. William C. Steinkraus [Individual Gold medal, show jumping, Mexico City 1968].
