 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.
