Shunzo Kido (城戸 俊三, July 4, 1889 – October 3, 1986) was a Japanese equestrian who competed in eventing at the 1928 and 1932 Summer Olympics.[1] In 1932, while leading the tournament with one jump left, he felt that his horse became lame and dismounted to save her from potential injury, abandoning his chances for a medal.[2][3][4]
