Saddle up for equestrianism
Equestrian is the only Olympic sport in which men and women compete against each other.
There are three Olympic Equestrian events - eventing, dressage and show jumping.
At the Olympics, horses must be the same nationality as their riders and each horse must be at least seven years old.

Many have owned or known a brilliant little 'horse on pony legs', about which it has been mused: "He could have gone to Badminton, if only he'd been a couple of inches taller." Two For Joy is just that pony, and he is going to Badminton. The dark little skewbald's rider and trainer, Polly Jackson, of similar small but impeccable build, presents him in front of a jury of three dressage judges tomorrow, to perform a seven-minute set reprise, the first phase of the Mitsubishi Motors Three-Day Event.
