The first modern Olympics to hold equestrian events were in 1900 in Paris, France. Three disciplines were contested: Show jumping, high jump, and long jump. Hacks and hunters (Chevaux de Selle) and mail coach were contested but not considered official Olympic sports. Several horse sports have made their appearance in the Olympics since those beginnings and the ancient sport of polo was contested at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris.
