About Para-Equestrian Sport
Para-Equestrian sport provides riders with a physical disability the
opportunity to compete against other riders with similar abilities.
Riders are given a “Grade” based on their functional ability, and are
judged on their riding skill against other athletes of the same Grade.
There are five grades of competitions in dressage, with Grade IA
representing the more severely impaired riders, and Grade IV
representing the least severely impaired riders. Many Para-Equestrian
athletes also compete alongside able-bodied competitors in Equine Canada
competitions. At the grass roots level, Para-Equestrian encompasses a
number of different disciplines, while the international stream focuses
only on Para-Dressage. For more information, please visit www.equinecanada.ca/para-equestrian.
