Re: [RC] Olympic Disciplines - heidi

I had thought that they were going to add reining and endurance to the
slate of Olympic Equestrian Events. I didn't find them in the schedule
and wondered what was going on with it?

You are confusing FEI with the Olympics.  Only FEI disciplines get into
the Olympics--but not ALL FEI disciplines do.  If I recall, reining will
likely be added at some point in the future.  Endurance gets talked about
from time to time, but the difficulty of adding an endurance venue to a
crowded urban Olympic setting is one drawback, and another is that it just
isn't a big drawing sort of "spectator" sport.  Folks like stuff that they
can see the performance in their living rooms in 2 minutes and get the
results of the whole thing in an hour...
