Highlights from the Equestrian events at the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games as Pierre Jonquères d'Oriola makes history by becoming the only double Olympic Equestrian champion.
A record that will still stand before the Rio 2016 Games begin, watch Pierre Jonquères d'Oriola become the only double Olympic equestrian champion in these highlights from the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games.
There are not many Olympic feats that survive over 50 years without being surpassed by future generations. Pierre Jonquères d'Oriola's achievement at the Tokyo 1964 Games is one of those which actually still does.
Pierre Jonquères d'Oriola first won the Olympic Equestrian jumping competition at the Helsinki 1952 Summer Games. Twelve years later, riding Lutteur B, the Frenchman once again beat all other competitor pairs and took the highest step on the podium.
Until the start of the Rio 2016 Olympics, no other equestrian jumping athlete will have won two individual Olympic gold medals. Over 50 years later, will someone repeat d'Oriola's feat?

I miss him. He was my trainer in 1979-1981 He set a world record in show jumping and also won a gold medal in Olympic dressage. He was also a talented artist. I had a Welsh Mountain Pony as a child named “ Lucky Pierre” that’s what I called Pierre.

Ah but have you tried both at the same time? ;) (aka Vaulting) such a blast.

There's a facebook page called 'the Vaulting Connection" you might be able to ask there where you could find a club. Most let you try your first lesson without paying to see if you like it.
