Horses should get the medal (or maybe actually a bail of hay or some other horsey treat they'd like) not the riders.
Also, saw some members of the hockey team on the telly earlier today, thought it was a bit weird that they get a medal each, shouldn't it just be one for the team?
I would say that if you rely on another athlete to get to hold then it shouldn't be individual medals but then everyone relies on their coaching and support team etc.
