Big fences at the Olympics 1968 – video
The courses at the Olympics in Mexico City 1968 were among the biggest ever built. Especially the second round of the Individual competition were terrifying. Check out this enormous oxer measuring 1.80 x 2.20 m, here reconstructed by US rider and coach Bernie Traurig. Only two horses cleared this fence.
