The disciplines will host athletes at a minimum age of 16 years old to participate in dressage classes and 18 for show jumping and eventing. As for horses, the animal athletes will need to be 9 or older. Both men and women will partake with no gender-segregated competitions across team and individual events; the only sport on the Olympics platform to embrace the process.
