Should Equestrians be out of next Olympics?

[Loongsam]

I know Equestrians is an event where riders of horses perform against one another to single the best horse rider.

Put your vote here to tell us if your think it should be included in the next Olympics or not.

the horse wins the medal for the rider so i think it shld be out

The rider trains and controls the horse.

I think that charioteering should be in.

I also think that horseback archery should also be in.

The Commonwealth nations (Britain, Australia, Canada etc.) are regular medalists in equestrian, with their traditional rivals Germany. In London 2012, there's no chance for equestrian to be excluded.

In fact, as the cyclers and sailors are rolling in the gold for Britain in this Olympics, the performance of British equestrian team have been below expectation and subpar. They will dearly want to make amends in London 2012.

Both are good, but the rider must be better to make the winning difference. Just like motor racing, the car must be good but the driver must be better.
