Who would have thought that equestrianism could be one of the most talked-about sports of the Paris 2024 Olympics? One of the sport’s most decorated athletes, Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin, withdrew from competition this week, just days before the competition is set to begin, after a video emerged of her whipping a horse. Dujardin, who was due to compete in the dressage competition, has been replaced on the British team by Becky Moody.
On the American side, the United States will send a total of twelve riders to the Olympics to compete in three events: dressage, show jumping, and eventing. (In case you were curious how American horses competing in the Games get to France, they fly there and even need passports to board. Who would have thought?) The equestrian events will be held at Versailles during the Paris Games, making for a majestic entertainment venue.
If you’re planning to watch Equestrian, here’s the full schedule and list of competitors at this year’s Games.
