Equestrian events at the 1900 Summer Olympics

Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox Olympic event Template:Equestrian at the 1900 Summer Olympics Five equestrian competitions were held from 29 May to 2 June 1900 at the Concours Hippique International (English: International Horse Show) in Paris as part of the Exposition Universelle. The events were later classified as part of the 1900 Summer Olympics. The events were organised by the Template:Ill, with competitors from eight countries competing in three jumping and two driving events at the Place de Breteuil in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.<ref name=officialreport>Template:Cite report</ref>

Only the three jumping events had been considered "Olympic" by the International Olympic Committee in the past. The IOC website currently has affirmed a total of 95 medal events, after accepting, as it appears, the recommendation of Olympic historian Bill Mallon for events that should be considered "Olympic".<ref name="cite">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Mallon">Template:Cite book</ref> These additional events include two equestrian driving events. It is not certain how many competitors there were, but it is likely that there were between 37 and 64.Template:Efn Five nations competed in the Olympic jumping events, with three more (Germany, Spain, and Austria) in the two driving events. There were three female riders, all of whom competed in the hacks and hunter combined event: Italian Elvira Guerra and Frenchwomen Jane Moulin and Blanche de Marcigny.<ref>Equestrianism at the 1900 Paris Summer Games: Mixed Hacks And Hunter Combined.
