There are a lot of things to love about the Olympic Games, whether it’s cheering on your country or learning about sports that you don’t get to see on TV that often. There are certainly plenty of different sports to choose from, which means that there is a little something for everyone. For those of you who love horses, the equestrian events are sure to be appealing. At the Olympics, there are 3 distinct events in place, which are dressage, show jumping, and eventing. They are split into individual and team events, so there are definitely plenty of wagering opportunities in equestrian to choose from once the Olympics begin on Friday. Let’s take a closer look at each of the events and talk about past winners to see if we can help you pick some winners against their Olympics Betting Odds.

Equestrian Betting Guide for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

Dressage

At first glance, it may not appear as though much is going on when you watch dressage, but it is in fact one of the most precise sports in the Olympics. Dressage is all about showing off the flexibility, obedience, and balance of the horse with minimal prompting from the rider. While it may not be the most exciting sport in the world, but you have to admire the amount of training it takes to get the horse to behave in such a manner.

In terms of wagering, dressage is split into individual and team events. In the individual dressage tournament, the winner has come from just 3 different countries over the last 9 Olympics. Great Britain has won the last 2, with the Dutch winning 3, and the Germans winning 4 over the course of those past 9 Olympic Games. In the team event, it has been Germany that has dominated. The Germans have won 8 of the last 9 team events, while picking up silver in the one they did not win.

Show Jumping

If you are looking for a fast-paced equestrian event, then show jumping is the way to go. Riders take their horses around a course that contains several jumps, with the fastest time winning. Knocking over a jump means time penalties, making this one of the more exciting events out there.

It has been a rider from a different country that has won each of the last 6 individual jumping events, with Great Britain winning last time out. France, Great Britain, and the United States have been the winners of the last 3 team jumping events, so no clear favorite here.

Eventing

Eventing combines three sports in one, with dressage, jumping, and cross country all included in this event. Riders and horses need to excel in all three in order to get their hands on the gold medal. There is a definite winning trend in eventing to pay attention to.

In individual eventing, it is Germany that has dominated, winning each of the last 3 Olympics. In the team eventing event, the last 4 Olympic gold medals have been split evenly between France and Germany. Of course, none of this means that either of these nations are guaranteed to win again this year, but they are worth a look.
