European Championships

The FEI European Show Jumping Championships is the European Championship for the equestrian discipline of show jumping. Like most other European Championships, it is held every two years. Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals are awarded in both the individual and team competition. There is also a Championship held for young riders, juniors, ponies, children and veterans.

The individual competition started in 1957, while the team competition did not commence until 1975.

Both David Broome and Paul Schockemöhle, have won the individual title three times. While Germany have won the team title six times, with Great Britain next on four team wins.

The European Dressage Championship are the European Championship for the equestrian discipline of dressage. The are now held every 2 years, in odd-numbered years. Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals are awarded in both an individual and team competition. There is also a Championship held for juniors, young riders, and ponies.

The European Eventing Championship, like most other European Championships, is held every two years. It is a **** (four star) eventing competition (except for 1995 Championships, which was downgraded to a three-star level because it was open to the rest of the world), the highest level offered, where nations from Europe compete for both team and individual titles.

The first Championships were held at Badminton in 1953, where six teams (Britain, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland) were sent, although only Britain and Switzerland were able to get their horses fit in time to actually compete. However, 10 teams were able to compete at the 1959 competition.

The 1995 and 1997 European Championships were open to the world, but were reverted back to a European-only competition in 1999. The first woman to win the competition was Shelia Wilcox in 1957, although women were not allowed to compete in the Olympics in eventing until 1964.

There is also a Championship held for young riders, juniors and ponies.
