The individual jumping in equestrian at the 2012 Olympic Games in London was held at Greenwich Park from 4 to 8 August.
Five rounds of jumping were conducted, in two stages. The first three rounds made up the qualifications. The second and third rounds were also used for the team jumping event. Following the qualifications, the top 35 pairs moved on to the final round. Only the top 20 pairs advanced to the second of the two final rounds. Final rankings were based on the sum of scores from both rounds of the final stage. A jump-off would be held to break a tie for any of the medal positions.
All times are British Summer Time (UTC+1)
The first qualifying round was run on a relatively easy course with a length of 510 m and an allowed time of 1:22.
The course for the second round was 550 m long with an allowed time of 1:28.
The course for the third round was 550 meters long (with 13 fences) with an allowed time of 1:28.
* A maximum of three riders from a single country could advance to the individual final. Therefore, Werner Muff and Jur Vrieling did not advance, as both Switzerland and the Netherlands had three riders with fewer penalty points.
