The International Olympic Committee on Friday confirmed equestrian disciplines for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The confirmation came at an IOC Executive Board meeting in Mumbai, India that included additional sports.
The Olympics typically include dressage, jumping and eventing.
“We are delighted with the IOC’s announcement that the equestrian disciplines at competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will be on the Los Angeles 2028 sports program,” FEI President Ingmar De Vos said.
“Equestrian has been part of the Olympics since 1912, and with such a strong heritage and enthusiasm for the sport in the US, we are looking forward to delivering successful and engaging Games, focused on the future and the values which make it unique in the sporting landscape.
“This is only the beginning. Venue confirmation in the coming months and quotas for LA2028, which will be decided after Paris 2024, will be our next big milestones in the lead up to these Games.
“We are actively pursuing all avenues and making sure we have our finger on the pulse, as we look toward not only LA28 but also Paris24 which is just around the corner.”
