The 1900 Summer Olympics was the only Olympic Games to date to feature an Equestrian long jump competition. Of the seventeen competitors who entered, eight are known by name; of the rest, six were French and one was Belgian.

All 17 competitors managed to jump 4.50 metres (14.8 ft), but several were eliminated at 4.90 metres (16.1 ft). The winning jump of 6.10 metres (20.0 ft) was considered unimpressive, but was in part due to heavy ground caused by rain earlier on the day of the competition. The silver medal was won by an Italian competitor Gian Giorgio Trissino, who also won the joint gold medal in the Equestrian high jump competition.
