Equestrian
Equestrian is one of the most impressive sports of the
Paralympic
Games. It
also
contributes
to the
rehabilitation
and
improvement
of physical
skills for
people with
a
disability.
Equestrian
is a
multi-disability
sport. It is
unique among
Paralympic
sports since
men and
women
compete on
the same
terms and
horse and
rider are
both
declared
Paralympic
medal
winners.
