FormatFour rider teams, best three scores to count for the team total. Team/individual competitions held concurrently.

In the individual three-day event in Montréal, Americans Tad Coffin and J. Michael Plumb went 1-2, with their third rider, Bruce Davidson, the 1974 World Champion, placing 10th. This threesome brought the US team a gold medal by a big margin over West Germany. West Germany had led slightly after the dressage, with the Americans in second, but the US ride in the endurance contest put them into an insurmountable lead. Australia and Italy tied for the best performance in jumping, which brought Australia a bronze medal and moved Italy into fourth, but the US was third in jumping to secure the gold. West Germany stayed slightly ahead of Australia to win the silver. This was the first American victory in team eventing but they would win again at Los Angeles in 1984.
