Para-Equestrian Dressage – a Paralympic sport since 1996


Both Para-Equestrian Dressage and Para-Equestrian Driving have been integrated into the FEI with formats and rules mirrored on the standard Dressage and Driving Rules. The mobility, strength and coordination of competitors are assessed and athletes with similar functional ability profiles are grouped into competition grades, where each Grade is judged on the skill of the individual competitors, regardless of the disabilities.
