Athletes from 40 countries on six continents will compete in the equestrian events of the London 2012 Olympic Games, which get underway on July 28th. The list of entries validated by the London Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) is now available here.

Continuing the Olympic tradition, Jumping is the strongest discipline with 26 nations represented, but Dressage – for the first time – has overtaken Eventing and has the second highest number of nations taking part, with 23 compared to 22 for Eventing.

Seven nations – Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the USA – will be represented by teams in all three Olympic equestrian disciplines of Jumping, Dressage, and Eventing. Four countries – Germany, the Netherlands, the USA, and host nation Great Britain – have qualified the maximum number of 13 riders.
