Equestrian events at the 2028 Summer Olympics – Qualification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 200 quota places for the equestrian events at the 2028 Summer Olympics were divided across the three disciplines (75 for jumping, 65 for eventing, and 60 for dressage). Teams in each discipline consisted of three horse and rider pairs; any National Olympic Committee (NOC) that qualified a team (20 teams for jumping, 16 for eventing, and 15 for dressage) also received three entries in the individual competition for that discipline. NOCs that did not qualify teams could earn one individual place in dressage and jumping and up to two individual places in eventing, for a total of 15 entries in jumping and dressage and 17 for eventing. Teams qualified primarily through specific competitions (World Equestrian Games and continental tournaments), while individuals qualified through rankings. The host nation, the United States, automatically qualified a team in each discipline.[1]
