“We are very pleased with the progress in preparations for the LA28 Olympic equestrian events accomplished over the past few months and look forward to continuing our close cooperation with the organizing committee over the next three years,” said FEI President Ingmar De Vos.
“The IOC’s confirmation that equestrian would retain the same medal events and quota places as for Paris 2024 is a very positive development as is the approval of Santa Anita Park in Arcadia as the venue for all the equestrian competitions. A solid basis has been set and we anticipate truly outstanding LA28 Olympic equestrian events in a wonderful setting.”
A record-breaking 50 nations participated in equestrian at the Tokyo Olympics. Paris in 2024 saw 49 countries. Thirty nations competed in equestrian at Los Angeles in 1984.
