Equestrian at The 2008 Summer Paralympics - Classfication

Classfication

Riders were given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allows riders to compete against others with a similar level of function.

Equestrian classes were:

• I, for riders with impaired limb function, or poor balance and good upper limb function
• II, for riders with locomotion impairment
• III, for blind riders with moderate locomotion impairment
• IV, for riders with some visual impairment or impaired function in one or two limbs
