Unlike today's show jumping tests, some obstacles had to be cleared multiple times during the test, at a different part of the fence each time. Riders gained points for refusals, run-outs, falls, and going off-course. The required weight was reduced to 75 kg, where it would remain for several decades.
Riders could also wear dark or "pink" coats instead of informal uniform attire. All riders had to wear cream breeches and silk hats. The Games again changed the format to what would be seen today. Dressage was held over two days due to the large number of entries. The test was now required to be held in a 20x60 meter arena, and a time limit was instituted 10 minute 30 seconds maximum.

The Games also provided a testing grounds for new methods of cooling the horses after cross-country, including misting fans, and added an additional hold during Phase C to ensure the horses were cooling properly.
Also during this time was an extensive study performed on the event horses at the Games to study the effects of heat and different methods of cooling. These studies provided a great deal of valuable information, debunking several myths, and the results have been useful to horsemen outside of eventing as well. This was the first time where an extensive veterinary study was conducted in conjunction with the Games.
The traditional Endurance test, known as the "classic format," included roads and tracks Phase A and C , steeplechase Phase B , and cross-country Phase D. At the Olympics, the "short format" was introduced, removing phases A, B, and C from the endurance day. This was intended to reduce the amount of space needed to hold an Olympic-level competition, thereby helping to ensure that the sport was not ousted by the IOC from the Olympics. This format has drawn criticism from various members of the sport, but is now considered to be the "standard" competition format at all levels.
In , show jumping allowed both military and non-military riders and their mounts to compete, excluding military school horses. Today, it is open to both sexes on any horse. Courses have also changed considerably. Early fences were built more naturally, rather than the brightly colored poles that are today's standard.
