Poll: What is Your Favorite Olympic Equestrian Sport?

Friday July 4, 2008
Just a few more weeks until the 2008 Summer Olympics begin!
I know my daughter will be watching the eventing as much as possible, while I love watching and learning from the dressage competitions. What equestrian sport are you looking forward to following? Are you a show jumping fan? Do you appreciate the intricacies of dressage (or does it make your eyes glaze over)? Or will you be following the excitement of eventing. Take the poll and leave your comments below!

You know, reining and endurance riding are Olympic sports, too.

According to the International Olympic Committee only three equestrian sports are included in the Olympics as listed in the poll. There are eight FEI sports: jumping, vaulting, reining, para-equestrian, endurance, eventing, driving and dressage. These are contested at the World Equestrian Games every four years.
