In the Paralympic Equestrian Events, riders' functional abilities are classified into one of four grades. Grade I riders have a higher degree of disability than Grade IV riders. Riders graded I or II are required to ride walk only or walk and trot movements, whilst Grade III and IV riders perform tests that also include canter and some lateral work.

The Games' Equestrian Events which was launched on Sept. 7 in Hong Kong will run until Sept. 11.
