Tokyo—Nov. 21 

Olympic formats were the key topic of today's Fédération Equestre Internationale General Assembly session in the Japanese capital. The move to go to three-member teams with no drop score across the Olympic disciplines, as well as for the Paralympic teams, was up for one last discussion before the vote tomorrow, Nov. 22.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil—Sept. 13  

The first gold of the Rio Para Equestrian dressage competition was won by Norway’s Ann Cathrin Lübbe at the Olympic Equestrian Center.

In a thrilling and closely contended Grade III individual test Lübbe, riding Donatello, scored 72.87 percent, just a fraction of a percentage point ahead of Denmark’s Susanne Sunesen on Que Faire.

And keeping it a neighbourly affair, Sweden’s Louise Etzner Jakobsson took the bronze at this, her first Paralympic Games, riding Zernard.

Inaugural puissance competition slated for Thursday evening highlights show jumpers and a bid for Irishwoman Susan Oakes to break world side-saddle record.
