The Equestrian events were held at the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, United States, 30 miles or 50 km east of Atlanta. For the first time in Olympic history, the three-day event individual and team events were held as two separate competitions. A rider could compete in both events. This format would continue on to the 2000 Olympics.{{cite sports-reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1996/EQU/ |title=Equestrianism at the 1996 Atlanta Equestrian Games |access-date=6 May 2020 |archive-date=12 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212095717/http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1996/EQU/ |url-status=dead }}
