Equestrian at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics
Equestrian at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics was held from 8 to 13 October 2018 at the Argentine Equestrian Club in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Qualification
Each National Olympic Committee can enter a maximum of 1 athlete. Athletes will qualify into one of six zones containing five athletes. As hosts, Argentina was automatically given a rider and up to 6 spots were available to the Tripartite Commission, though not all were used; this will cause a reduction from the zone quota depending which zone the chosen athlete is from. The remaining places will decided from qualification events or the 2017 FEI World Jumping Challenge rankings. Should a zone not have enough athletes, the spot will filled by athletes from another zone.To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics athletes must have been born between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2003. Furthermore, all riders must have obtained a Certificate of Capability. The certificate must be obtained between 1 April 2017 and 31 May 2018 at a registered event.
