Individual, Open

Date	24 – 27 September 1988 — 14:00
Status	Olympic
Location	Seo-ul Gyeong-ma Gong-won, Gwacheon
Participants	53 from 18 countries
Format	Two rounds, final round score to determine placement.

A qualifying round was held with the top 18 and ties advancing to a final round. The final placements were determined only by the results of the final round. In the concurrent team competition, four riders were allowed on each team, but only three team members could advance to the final round individually. This rule eliminated West German rider, Reiner Klimke, who placed seventh in qualifying but could not advance as he was only the fourth-ranked West German. He was the only rider affected by this rule. Since Los Angeles in 1984 the Grand Prix had been shortened to 7 minutes, which gave increased importance to the piaffe and passage.

German Nicole Uphoff led the qualifying and was well ahead in the final round as well to win the gold medal. France’s Margit Otto-Crépin was second both in the final round and qualifying. Bronze went to Swiss rider Christine Stückelberger, the 1976 individual gold medalist. All three medalists were women, for the first time ever, but even more, eight of the top nine places were taken by women, with only Switzerland’s Otto Hofer, in seventh place, breaking the monopoly.
