The jumping event at the 1900 Summer Olympics Equestrian competition was similar to the modern event. The course was 850 metres (2,790 ft) long with 22 jumps, including a double jump and a triple jump as well as a 4 metres (13 ft) water jump. 45 competitors entered, though only 37 competed. Some information is known on 16 of the competitors, though of the rest all that can be deduced from the nationalities of the entrants is that, of the remaining unknowns that did compete, at most 1 was a Russian, up to 3 were Italian, at least 3 and up to 9 were Belgian, and between 8 and 14 were French.

The silver medalist, Georges van der Poële, also won the bronze in the Equestrian high jumping competition.

Notes

  1. That Jéhin rode Bistouri, a horse which he owned, is presumed by de Wael.
  2. De Wael notes that it is uncertain if Murat actually was the rider, but argues for it on the basis that Murat was the owner of Arcadius and is known to have ridden in other events
