2012 Marks 100 Years of Equestrians in the Olympics

FEI President looks forward to another 100 years of equestrian sport in Olympic Movement. The London 2012 Olympic Games marks 100 years of equestrian sport in the Olympic movement, and FEI President HRH Princess Haya is looking forward to celebrating the centenary at Greenwich Park this summer. “We are really proud to be celebrating 100 years of Olympic equestrian sport at the London 2012 Games and it’s wonderful that we will be doing that at an iconic venue like Greenwich Park right in the heart of the Games,” FEI President HRH Princess Haya said today. “Greenwich Park is the second largest venue in London 2012 and tickets for the Cross Country were one of the fastest to sell out. Demand has been so high for our sport that tickets for all the equestrian disciplines were sold out in a matter of weeks, establishing us as one of the most popular sports in the Games. “This is a real milestone for our sport and is worthy of celebration as it confirms that we are really competing with the other top sports on the number of spectators we can pull in. We’re aspiring to provide one of the top quality products of the Games and we can really say to the big international federations, watch out, we’re here now! “We have worked tirelessly over the past number of years to ensure that horse sport falls in line with all the IOC requirements, that it is clean, transparent, cost effective and safe

Jennifer Williams, our February cover rider, is gr Jennifer Williams, our February cover rider, is grateful for MIllione, her longtime partner with whom she won the 2020 Grand Prix National Championship.

"Millione has been such an impactful horse for my life. He's all heart, and I joke that he's my little Viking warrior because he's solid and strong and always ready to give 110%. He loves to work and has such an incredible work ethic. He's so happy and quirky, it warms my heart," Jennifer said.

From the looks of it, Jennifer (@summervalepremierdressage) warms Millione's heart too as evidenced in this photo gem by Sidelines photographer @msfullerphotography of the two sharing a sweet moment.

"I remember everything about that day. I remember "I remember everything about that day. I remember the name of the horse his color, and that it was a beautiful summer day in the mountains. I was thinking, This is it. This is the moment I've been waiting for. It was all I wanted to do for the rest of my life."

A trail ride in Colorado on a roan gelding named Schnapps was U.S. eventer Liz Halliday-Sharp's first foray into the world of horses. After her momentous first ride, Liz began taking lessons, earning money and saving her allowance to buy tack and riding clothes.

When the native Californian joined Pony Club and had a chance to jump cross country, she decided eventing was meant for her. "I got that 'this is it' feeling again," Liz said.

Liz's father, a vintage auto racer who instructed for the Sports Car Club of America, taught Liz how to race cars when she got her driver's license. The dad and daughter shared a 1967 Datsun 510 which was the first car Liz raced on her journey to becoming the most successful female driver in the American Le Mans Series.
