The individual dressage event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place from 30 July to 4 August 2024 at the Palace of Versailles.[1] Like all other equestrian events, the dressage competition is open-gender, with both male and female athletes competing in the same division. 60 riders from 30 nations are expected to compete.[2]
This was the 26th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since 1912.
The two-time reigning Olympic champion is Jessica von Bredow-Werndl of Germany (riding Dalera). The reigning (2022) World Champion is Charlotte Fry of Great Britain.

See main article: Equestrian at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification.
A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter up to 3 qualified riders in the individual dressage. Quota places are allocated to the NOC, which selects the riders. There were 60 quota places available, allocated as follows:
The competition format has changed dramatically since the 2016 format. The competition has dropped from three rounds to two; moreover, advancement is now determined first by place in group rather than overall place (though there are lucky loser places available). The two rounds of the competition are the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Freestyle.[3]
The event takes place on three competition days over six days, with two days for the Grand Prix followed by two rest days, the team final day, then the individual Grand Prix Freestyle.
All times are European Central Time (UTC+1).[4] [5]
