The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris will be the competitive highlight for all elite sport athletes and so is it for equestrian riders in the three Olympic disciplines - dressage, show jumping, and eventing.
With less than a year to go until the Games, ticket sales are in full swing and the FEI has announced the full calendar across the disciplines.
Equestrian sport will be hosted in the gardens of the Versailles castle, so a more picturesque backdrop is hardly imaginable.
Here is the full time schedule for equestrian sport (official document here).
