Horses date way back to ancient Olympic games with chariot racing. The horse dates back to ancient civilizations and countries - some of these are China, Egypt, and Persia. The first Equestrian event was show jumping back in 1990. Equestrian is about the only competition where men and women can compete against each other.
Dressage comes from the French word (verb) dresser, meaning "to train ". Dressage dates back to Greek times and knights in the middle (medieval) ages. During the Renaissance, people started using it as a training method for Europeans and it hardly has changed since then. The three-day event dressage was first included in the Olympic games in 1912. Show jumping was originally born in Paris in 1866. Unfortunately, their have been disagreements in the past from where it has really originated from.
