PARIS will be the second running of the three riders to a team format that was introduced ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. All three scores count, but there are rules allowing a reserve to be substituted into the team after the competition starts, in certain circumstances.

The dressage test is shorter than usual and written especially for the Olympic Games. The cross-country course is designed by Pierre Le Goupil and the optimum time will be approximately 9 minutes 2 seconds.
