Equestrian Jumping at the 1976 Summer Olympics

Most of the 1976 equestrian events were held at the Olympic Equestrian Center in Bromont, Québec, which was specially constructed for the Montréal Olympics and was finished in 1975. The site continues to be used frequently for equestrian competition. The only event not held there was the team jumping, which was conducted on the last day in the main Olympic Stadium.

The severe veterinary regulations in place for Olympics equestrianism, especially concerning equine piroplasmosis, influenced the participation, as Poland and Chile could not send horses at all, and France and Italy had to keep some at home.

Team and individual jumping competitions were held in 1976. As was becoming standard on the Olympic Program, they were conducted separately with the Grand Prix de Nations held several days after the individual jumping. In his third Olympics since 1960, German Alwin Schockemöhle won the individual title, while France took the team gold medal.
