YOG Cycling

Description
Equestrian is the only Olympic sport where man and animal are established as team mates, and where men and women compete on equal terms. The horse and rider work together to demonstrate feats of grace, agility and speed. There are seven Equestrian disciplines recognised by the International Equestrian Federation which includes dressage, jumping, eventing, reining, vaulting, endurance and driving.
At the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games, there will only be the Jumping event (Team and Individual) and the horses will be provided by the organising committee. For the Team event, there will be six teams representing each continent – Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North America and South America. Penalties are given to teams in cases such as riders knocking down fences or when horses refuse to jump. The team with the lowest demerit points wins.
