The discipline
Equestrian sports center on the partnership between horse and rider.
Show jumping, the discipline included in the Olympic Games since Paris 1900, tests precision, speed, and coordination as riders clear a series of obstacles in the shortest time possible without knocking any down.
In case of a tie, a “jump-off” round determines the winner.
At the Games
Equestrian sports return to Riyadh 2025 after a 20-year absence, featuring 50 riders competing from 12 to 15 November 2025.
Entry
46 athlete slots will be allocated, with a maximum of four athletes per NOC. Four slots will be directly allocated to the host country.
If registrations exceed 46, entries per NOC will be reduced to three, and if still over, further reduced to two, to ensure the quota cap is not exceeded.
Registered athletes must meet the minimum age requirements and be registered with the FEI.
