A FIRST glimpse of how the Olympic and Paralympic equestrian events could look at Paris 2024 has been revealed.
The dressage, eventing, showjumping, modern pentathlon and Paralympic dressage competitions will be held at the spectacular setting of the Palace of Versailles.
Los Angeles declared its candidacy for the 2028 Games on 31 July, leaving Paris open to play host in 2024.
Paris last hosted the Games in 1924 while Los Angeles has staged them twice, in 1932 and 1984.
The cities were the only two left in the mix for both dates after Boston, Hamburg, Rome and Budapest withdrew their bids.
Artist’s impressions show a grandstand at the end of the Grand Canal, facing the West façade of the palace.

This means the Belgian team, which came fourth, has been disqualified. On 4 September, the FEI said the 10-year-old mare, owned by Kris van Vaerenbergh, tested positive for trazodone, which is listed as an antidepressant on the FEI's prohibited substances list.
