The 200 quota places for equestrian at the 2024 Summer Olympics were divided between the three disciplines (75 for jumping, 65 for eventing, and 60 for dressage). Teams in each discipline consisted of three horse and rider pairs; any NOC that qualified a team (20 teams for jumping, 16 for eventing, and 15 for dressage) also received three entries in the individual competition for that discipline. NOCs that did not qualify teams could earn one individual place in dressage and jumping and up to two individual places in eventing, for a total of 15 entries in jumping and dressage and 17 for eventing. Teams qualify primarily through specific competitions (World Equestrian Games and continental tournaments), while individuals qualify through rankings. The host nation, France, automatically qualified a team in each discipline.[1] [2] [3]

– Brazil initially qualified a team, but failed to provide the NOC Certificate of Capability by December 31, 2023. As a result, their team quota got reallocated to a Composite team, while Brazil received one individual spot through Pan American Games.
– Group F qualification event was not held. As a result, the respective team quota got reallocated to a Composite team.
– Palestine obtained an individual spot in dressage, but was not able to fulfill the MER criteria of 67%, which resulted in an individual spot for South Africa. Since South Africa does not have a contender, the spot would move up to the second reserve in Group F, Qatar, who has also no rider. South Korea is not part of Group F but of Group G, but is the highest ranked in the FEI Olympic Ranking, since South Africa and Qatar were not able to send a representative.
