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.
