Equestrian at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics was held from 8 to 13 October 2018 at the Argentine Equestrian Club in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Qualification.
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a maximum of 1 athlete. Athletes qualified into one of six zones (Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australasia and Africa) containing five athletes. As hosts, Argentina was automatically given a rider and up to 6 spots were available to the Tripartite Commission, though not all were used; this caused a reduction from the zone quota depending which zone the chosen athlete is from. The remaining places were decided from qualification events or the 2017 FEI World Jumping Challenge (Category A) rankings. Should a zone not have enough athletes, the spot would be filled by athletes from another zone.
To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics athletes must have been born between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2003. Furthermore, all riders must have obtained a Certificate of Capability. The certificate must be obtained between 1 April 2017 and 31 May 2018 at a registered event.
