Paris Paralympics individual grade I, II & III dressage times: when will the Brits and other favourites compete for medals?


  • The Paris Paralympics dressage times for Tuesday’s (3 September) grade I, II and III individual tests have now been released.

    A total of 76 combinations from 30 nations will assemble for four days of competition spread across five days from Tuesday to Saturday (7 September).

    All horses that were presented at the first horse inspection this morning passed. However, by that point grade III medal favourites Tobias Thorning Jørgensen and Jolene had already ruled themselves out after the 16-year-old mare developed travel sickness en route to Versailles.

    The first two days will be individual medal events for all five grades, with grade III opening proceedings. Grades IV and V will compete on Wednesday (4 September), the team competition will be held on Friday (6 September) and the freestyle on Saturday (7 September).

    The competition starts at 9am local time (8am British time) tomorrow, with Italy’s Francesca Salvade and Escari kicking things off in the grade III.

    The grade II will start at 11.45am local time (10.45am British time) and the competitive grade I at 1.45pm local time (12.45pm British time). The medal ceremonies for each grade will be held between 5.35pm and 6.35pm local time (4.35pm to 5.35pm British time).
