By the way, it's spelled, "Olympics."

Answer 3

Not currently, though I now they did exhibition in the 96 olympics. Sports that are trying to become an olympic sport or often considered are performed as an exhibition.

Answer 4

Nope. The only western sport is reining. English their is show jumping, cross country, and dressage. There is also the Paralympics but I am not sure what types of riding they ahve in there...maybe barrel racing? idk

Answer 5

I dont think so but I wish that they did because i would try to get on there. I think they don't have because It isn't really basied on  you its how fast the horse is.

Answer 6

No, only three day eventing, show jumping and dressage.  the world equestrian games are also held every four years, two years before the Olympics and also includes driving, reining, vaulting, and endurance.

I believe that to be in the Olympics a sport has to be international enough for it to be recognized by FEI, the international governing body.
