It is adapted to accommodate various impairments, with classifications based on the rider's level of function to ensure fair competition. Riders may use specialized equipment or modifications to assist their riding. The sport showcases the rider’s skill, the horse’s training, and their partnership, emphasizing balance, control, and elegance. It is an important Paralympic discipline, promoting inclusivity and demonstrating the therapeutic and empowering aspects of equestrianism.
