A Para Rider's mobility, strength and coordination is assessed in order to establish their Classification Profile. Riders with similar functional ability Profiles are grouped into competition Grades. The Grades range from Grade I for the most severely impaired, to Grade V for the least impaired. The competition within each Grade can, therefore, be judged on the skill of the individual competitor on their horse, regardless of the competitor’s disability.
Once classified, riders are given a functional profile number and a Grade. When necessary riders can use compensating aids approved by FEI PE , such as a special saddle, adapted reins, elastic bands, two whips etc.
