Equestrian at the Paralympics is always a spectacular watch, but this year it will take place in the stunning setting of the Château de Versailles. Luckily we have all the information you need to watch equestrian, and all of Paralympics 2024, from anywhere in the world, including for free.
As was the case at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the British team will be without one of their stars for these Games. Dressage star Sir Lee Pearson is unavailable after a suspension, but the good news is that Georgia Wilson on Sakura will be appearing for Team GB.
Another big name not competing is Demark's Tobias Thorning Jorgensen. He was looking to defend his two titles from three years ago. However, he shocked the para equestrian world by withdrawing after his horse developed travel sickness.
With the field wide open, high-scoring Dutch riders Demi Haerkens on Daula and Sanne Voets on Demantur could be the ones to watch. Either way, Château de Versailles is set to be a sellout.
Here's where to watch equestrian 2024 Paralympics live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
