2004
2004 was the year the short format appeared for Olympic eventing. The change was inspired, at least in part, by threats to kick the sport out of the Olympics. Short format requires less space and time with the elimination of the steeplechase and roads and tracks segments of the endurance phase (now just plain old cross-country day.)
In the Pages of Horse Illustrated Bling in the hunter ring? Say it ain’t so! After the Euro-style (or skunk-style) helmets became popular, jumper riders felt the freedom from the traditional hunt cap style and decided to run with it. In 2004, we featured custom decoration for your new helmet, a fun new way to add color do show-ring-attire monotony. Rumor has it the trend leaked into the hunter ring for a time before the traditionalists put the kibosh on that. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
