From the three disciplines that make up equestrian, eventing is the most demanding. Indeed, it combines not only jumping and dressage, but also a long cross-country course, on mixed terrain with sometimes imposing natural or artificial obstacles. Jumping developed after fences were put up in the English countryside, leading fox hunters to require horses that could jump.
The discipline, as we know it today, developed as a result of competition among fox hunters, following the introduction of the Enclosures Acts that came into force in England in the 18th century. Previously, hunters would gallop across open fields in their pursuit of foxes. But when fences were erected following the Acts, a new and much desired trait took the fore: the jumping horse.
Before him, riders would lean back and pull the reins when jumping a fence. However, this technique was awkward and uncomfortable for the horse. This technique is now universally used. The horse made its first appearance at the ancient Olympic Games in BC when chariot racing was introduced—and was by far the most exciting and spectacular event on the programme.
Many centuries later, when the modern Games began, a few unsuccessful attempts, namely , , and , preceded the success of equestrian in the Olympic programme. Over the next few decades, jumping was dominated by the military, but with the mechanisation of the army over the years, civilians became more and more prevalent.
