What is Para Equestrian?
Para Equestrian is Equestrian Sport for people with a classifiable physical or vision impairment. 'Para' stands for parallel, meaning alongside Open Sport.
Para Dressage is the only Equestrian discipline that is included in the Paralympic Games, where it has been a regular fixture since 1996.
Para Dressage and Para Driving are recognised sports by the FEI. Para Jumping and Para Reining are gaining momentum in Europe, the USA and UK.
People with intellectual impairment are classified by Sport Inclusion Australia.
With the idea of creating opportunities for all people with physical or visual impairments to compete and achieve their goals in equestrian sport, athletes are classified according to the level of their disability/impairment so as to provide a fair and even playing field of competition.
