Daniel Bluman

Bluman, along with Ashlee Bond, Danielle Goldstein Waldman, and Elad Yaniv became the first Israeli equestrian jumping team to qualify for the Olympics. The team qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo by winning a 2019 qualification tournament at Maxima Park in Moscow, Russia. The team's coach, Dutch-born Jeroen Dubbeldam, won a gold medal for the Netherlands in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

He was named the 2018 Rider of the Year by L'Annee Hippique. In May 2019, Bluman won the Rolex Grand Prix at CSIO Rome di Siena.

In 2016 Bluman married Ariel Epstein, an amateur rider who represents Israel in competition. The two have a son named Avi, who was born in 2018.

Bluman has been riding on behalf of Israel since late 2016. He said

"Through it all, the one thing that has always remained with me is my culture; what it means to be Jewish and to come from a family who has had to go through the Holocaust. Israel means a lot to me. Israel is a country that accepts every person — it doesn't matter your sexual orientation, your race, your religion, your ideas. It's a country that embraces you without prejudice … This is an amazing philosophy of life from an area of the world where living is not so easy. I'm very proud and emotional when I think about representing the Israeli flag."

Representing Colombia, Bluman competed at two Summer Olympics: the 2012 Summer Olympics in London and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. His best Olympic result came in 2012 when he placed 20th individually in jumping as one of the youngest competing riders.

Bluman competed at three World Equestrian Games: the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington, the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Caen, and the 2018 World Equestrian Games in Tryon. He also participated at several regional games, including the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara (at which he finished 7th) and the 2015 Pan American Games. He was a 2014 team gold medalist at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Veracruz, a bronze medalist at the 2016 LGCT Grand Prix of Hamburg, and a bronze medalist at the 2016 LGCT Grand Prix of Chantilly.

Bluman started riding horses at age three. In 2004, he won the Gold Medal FEI Children World Championship at 16 years of age. In 2007 Bluman moved to Wellington, Florida, where he started his professional riding career. Bluman relocated to Belgium in 2013, where he trained with Nelson Pessoa for two years.

Daniel Bluman (born 15 March 1990) is a Colombian-born Israeli Olympic show jumping rider. In July 2019 Bluman, as part of Israel's four-rider squad, qualified to represent Israel at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
