Individual Jumping Final Round A - London 2012 Olympics

Highlights of the Equestrian Individual Jumping Finals during the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Equestrian sports featured on the Olympic programme of the Paris Games in 1900, with jumping events, and were then withdrawn until the 1912 Games in Stockholm. Since then, this sport has been on the Olympic programme with remarkable regularity.
Until 1948, only men competed in the events, as the riders had to be officers. This restriction was lifted in 1951, and, since the Helsinki Games in 1952, women have competed with men in the mixed events. They competed first in dressage, then gradually in the other equestrian events.

They all did a great job for as difficult as the jumps were. Kudos to the horses. I hope they get lots of pets and treats. Such beautiful animals..

I love how shocked the crowd is when a horse runs out or has faults 😂

[maloryclarson]

My aim is to one day compete in the Olympics. I'm only 14 rn but I still have hopes and dreams.

When things are done humane manner and the horses are well looked after I think equestrian is a amazing sport. If a sport involves animals, their will always be someone doing something mean, but that's not all equestrian riders. And they certainly deserve to be called athletes. The amount of skill and effort it takes to win a equestrian event is unthinkable, especially at Olympic level.

That second chestnut was having a great time even though he was short on the pool

[MDD.X]

The way they just fly over those jumps.

Ok ok, I'm not trying to be an internet trainer, and frankly, I'm not against bits, but that first horse was showing OBVIOUS signs of discomfort at that giant bit, especially after the rider was yanking on it's mouth after the jumps. That's all I have to say

[catbarr]

[zoedoran]

[gizem]

Bunlar resmen uçuyorlar binicinin cesaretine mi atın yeteneğine mi hayran olucağımı şaşırdım müthiş yaa😍😍

[novasarts]

Ya’ll are annoying. “abuse” “oh poor horses” “oh I don’t know what i’m talking about but blah blah”
Stop being internet trainers and look things up. It’s not that hard to research things now and days.
Alot of you are uneducated and just love to assume things without looking into anything.
You all get defensive when you’re proven wrong.
Stop being sensitive.
Go look up real abuse.

[aylahlea]

That first horse looked terrified and angry.... hope he takes good care of them
