Equestrian is the sport where people ride horses.
In equestrian events, humans and horses work as teams. Some horses are worth more than a million dollars.
Equestrian is the only Olympic sport when men and women can compete together.
There are three equestrian events. They are called dressage, jumping and the three-day event.
Dressage riders make their horses do a set of moves. In one part, the riders must ride them to music.
The horses look like they are dancing.
It takes many years to train a horse to do dressage.
In jumping, the riders make their horses jump over high walls and poles. They must try not to knock anything down.
In the three-day event, horses and riders must do dressage, jumping and cross-country. The cross-country ride can be over 15 miles long.
In cross-country, the horses and riders go up and down hills, along roads and over fences.
