31 entrants are listed for the equestrian mail coach competition event at the 1900 Summer Olympics; all 29 of the riders are known by name (2 entered twice each). Beyond the top four competitors, it is unknown how many of the 31 entrants actually competed.[1]
The contestants drove mail coaches drawn by four horses each.
The IOC website currently has affirmed a total of 95 medal events, after accepting, as it appears, the recommendation of Olympic historian Bill Mallon regarding events that should be considered "Olympic". These additional events include the mail coach event.[2][3] (Mallon and de Wael had included this event in their Olympic lists.) As with 24 official medal events from other sports, the IOC does not list the winners of the mail coach event in its results database.
