Para dressage is the highest level of equestrian sport for athletes with physical disabilities and has been part of the Paralympic Games since 1996. In this discipline, riders and horses perform precise movements that demonstrate balance, harmony, and communication. Athletes are classified into competition grades based on their functional abilities, ensuring fair competition among riders with a wide range of physical challenges.

Canada has a proud history in para dressage, with athletes earning international recognition and Paralympic medals through their dedication, skill, and partnership with their horses. The sport highlights not only elite athletic performance but also the power of perseverance and the incredible bond between horse and rider.

Supporting para athletes is essential to ensuring the continued growth and accessibility of the sport. Adaptive equipment, specialized coaching, and the training of exceptional horses require significant resources.
