The not riding thing is that you have to qualify at the world cups to do the final 36 who do the whole thing including the riding - because it would be unfair for the horses to do more than 2 rounds and it would be impossible to find enough horses with the easy scope to jump 1.20 to have the ride open to all. So if you don't make the top 36 in the qualifiers you don't ride. At most sports the Olympics is slightly weaker than the European/World Championships so with zonal qualifying you might just get people outside the top 36 who would normally qualify gor the riding!
