# Equestrian at the 2024 Summer Paralympics – Individual freestyle test grade IV

The individual freestyle test, grade IV, para-equestrian dressage event at the 2024 Summer Paralympics was contested on the afternoon of 7 September 2024 at the Palace of Versailles, Paris.
The competition was assessed by a ground jury composed of five judges placed at locations designated E, H, C, M, and B. Each judge rated the competitors' performances with a percentage score across two areas - technique and artistry. The ten scores from the jury were then averaged to determine a rider's total percentage score.

## Ground jury

| Judge at E | Suzanne Cunningham ( Australia) |
| Judge at H | Katherine Lucheschi ( Italy) |
| Judge at C | Ineke Jansen ( Netherlands), jury president |
| Judge at M | Freddy Leyman ( Belgium) |
| Judge at B | John Robinson ( Great Britain) |

## Classification

Grade IV riders are described by the IPC as " athletes [that] have a severe impairment or deficiency of both arms or a moderate impairment of all four limbs or short stature."

## Results

Riders performed one test apiece. Unlike the Championship test, riders and horses are marked on both technical ('Tech.') and artistic criteria ('Art.'). All five marks in both categories are then averaged for the final score. As with all freestyle finals, 8 Riders started the event.
