Equestrian events at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France are held at the Château de Versailles. There are eleven gender free events: ten individual events and one mixed team event.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=18 November 2023|title=2024 Summer Paralympics Qualification Guide|url=https://www.paralympic.org/sites/default/files/2023-11/2023_11_07%20Paris%20QR_v1.6.pdf|archive-date=|access-date=|website=International Paralympic Committee}}{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=20 January 2023|title=Para Equestrian - Paris 2024|url=https://www.paris2024.org/en/sport/para-equestrian-dressage/|archive-date=|access-date=|website=Paris 2024}}
Competition format
Teams are made of three athletes, all of whom are also competing for individual medals. Nations without a team can be represented by one or two individual athlete(s).{{cite web|url=https://inside.fei.org/media-updates/paralympic-equestrian-stars-all-set-dance-versailles-stage|title=Paralympic equestrian stars all set to dance on Versailles stage|website=FEI.org|date=2 September 2024}}
The para-dressage competition starts with the Grand Prix Test A, which serves as an individual competition and in which the first individual medals are awarded. The best first 8 (eight) riders from each grade are qualified for the individual Freestyle. The second test, the Grand Prix Test B counts as Team test which serves as team competition where the team medals will be awarded. Only nations with a team can compete in the Grand Prix test B competition. The Freestyle consist of the best 8 (eight) athletes from the Grand Prix Test A competition, where again a string of three medals in each grade will be awarded. Each athlete designs their own test for the Freestyle, which must be set to music and must contain compulsory movements.
Qualification
There are 78 spots for para-equestrian riders at the Paralympic Games. Teams in each discipline consisted of three horse and rider pairs; any NOC that qualified a team (15 in total) also received 3 entries in the individual competition for that discipline. NOCs that did not qualify teams could earn one or two individual spots in dressage. Teams qualify primarily through specific competitions (World Equestrian Games and continental tournaments), while individuals qualified through ranking. The host nation France automatically reserves a team spot.{{cite web|url=https://inside.fei.org/system/files/2022_02_07%20EQU%20QR%20Paris_v0_updated%2025.03.2024_mark-up.pdf|title=Para Dressage Qualification System|publisher=FEI|date=25 March 2024}}
