Skijoering at Winter Olympics

I couldn't resist including this photo even though it was taken during the 1928 Winter Olympic Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Over the years equestrian events have been included in the Winter Olympics. Skijoering is depicted here, and other sports such as flat racing have been included as demonstration sports. Voltige (vaulting or artistic riding) was included in the 1920 Olympics. The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) began in 1921 due to the need for a governing body for horse sports. Since then the FEI has become the authority for all international events in dressage, jumping, three-day eventing, driving, endurance, vaulting, reining and para-Equestrian although only dressage, jumping and eventing are contested at the Olympics.
