Equestrian, also commonly known as riding, made its Olympic debut in the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. After its initial debut, equestrian disappeared from the Olympic scene for over a decade before returning in 1912.
Since then, it has remained an Olympic discipline, with three subdivisions: dressage, eventing, and jumping.
In Spectrum’s club sport spotlight series’ first interview, Columbia’s Equestrian club co-captains Julie Ahn and Sarah Coleman talked about how they became involved with riding, the club’s presence on campus, and what it takes to be a member of Equestrian here at Columbia.
