Who would have thought that equestrian would be one of the most talked-about events at the 2024 Paris Olympics? One of the sport’s most decorated athletes, Great Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin, withdrew from the competition this week, just days before the start of the competition, after a video surfaced of Dujardin whipping her horse. Becky Moody has been added to the British team to replace Dujardin, who was scheduled to compete in dressage.
The US side will be sending a total of 12 riders to the Olympics to compete in three disciplines: dressage, show jumping, and eventing. (In case you’re wondering how American horses for the Olympics actually get to France, they fly there by plane, which also requires a passport to board. Who would have known?) The equestrian events will take place in Versailles during the Paris Olympics, providing a royal entertainment backdrop.
If you’re planning on watching the equestrian events, here’s the complete schedule and competitor list for this year’s Olympics.
