Olympic Equestrian Events including the Modern Pentathlon

Greenwich Park is London’s oldest Royal Park, dating back to 1433, and is part of the Greenwich World Heritage site and home to the Prime Meridian Line.

Covering 74 hectares (183 acres) and located just 20 minutes from central London, the park offers sweeping views across the River Thames to St Paul’s Cathedral and beyond.

The Equestrian competition at London 2012 is made up of three disciplines: Dressage, Eventing and Jumping. Each discipline requires different skills from the riders and horses competing.

Modern Pentathlon first appeared at the Stockholm 1912 Olympic Games, with the women’s competition making its debut at Sydney 2000.
