Saturday, 13 July: 8 a.m. (Starting interval five minutes) Course of the "Fältridtklubben" (Stockholm Cross Country Riding Club) Riders had 4 hours to cover a distance of 55 kilometres.

Saturday, 13 July: The five kilometres course could not be called difficult, the obstacles consisting chiefly of fences, with or without ditches, and streams, however only the heat was oppressive.

Brian Turner Tom Lawrence did not finish the race after falling at a grass-covered ditch outside the course.

After the presentation on Monday afternoon of the prizes won in track and field events, the Stadium had been transformed into an obstacle-course, with flower-beds here and there.

Tuesday, 16 July: The fourth trial was an obstacle jumping course, which took place in the Olympiastadion.

15 obstacles, which were of small dimensions and fewer in number than for the other prize jumping events, had to be cleared perfectly.

The maximum raw score was therefore 770, which was divided by 77 and rounded to two decimal places to standardize it for the overall competition.
