The 2024 Paris Olympics will showcase the masters of horseback riding across six events between Saturday, July 27 and Tuesday, August 6. Competition will kick off on July 27 with the first rounds of the team eventing and individual dressage, and conclude on August 6 with individual jumping.

Germany will enter the competition as the all-time Olympic medal leader with 33 golds and 70 medals total. The Germans narrowly lost in Tokyo to Great Britain, which captured five medals across all events.

Also from Germany is the most decorated equestrian athlete of all-time, Isabell Werth, who will look to claim a record-breaking 13th Olympic medal in Paris. She took home two medals in 2020: gold in team dressage and silver in the individual competition.

Few venues at the Paris Games will rival the magnificence seen at the home of the equestrian competition. The grounds of the historic Château de Versailles will be outfitted with a temporary outdoor arena on the Etoile Royal esplanade in the center of the Palace’s gardens.

In Dressage, Tokyo silver medalists Steffen Peters (riding Suppenkasper) and Adrienne Lyle (riding Jane) will look to stun powerhouse Germany and win the U.S. team's first ever gold medal in the event after winning silver in Tokyo.
