Equestrian is notable for being the primary mixed-gender Olympic self-discipline, with feminine riders competing in all equestrian occasions since 1964.
Equestrian was first included in the Paris Summer Olympics in 1900. Now, this year, equestrian is once again part of the Paris Olympics 2024.
Anush Agarwalla will be the sole athlete representing India in equestrian. After winning a historic bronze medal in the 2022 Asian Games, he secured his ticket to Paris.
