Taipei - Equestrianism is one of the many sports that will be featured at the pinnacle of the Paris Olympic Games, but the stories of people and horses forming a unique relationship and working together to achieve their goals are what make this sport special. This special partnership will be explained in this video, which will kick off the promotional activities throughout the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“A Bond Like No Other ” delves into the ways in which humans and horses work together, highlighting the horses’ individuality and showing how they are important members of the team.

The relationships we make in this world define who I am. And there is a kind of relationship that has flourished for thousands of years. More than a partnership, more than a true friendship. It is a unique bond, unbreakable because of mutual protection. A Bond Like No Other . " This video kicks off the entire Paris Olympic equestrian campaign, which aims to attract fans of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as people who love animals in general, by presenting the exciting international events of equestrian, eventing, show jumping and dressage for people with disabilities.

The event focuses not only on the union of man and horse on the sporting field, but also on the wider equestrian lifestyle, considering the development of this partnership over thousands of years, with horses playing an important and noble role in human progress from prehistory to the modern era.

The attraction transcends age and gender, and anyone can develop this unique bond with a horse. Men and women can not only compete against each other, but also compete together as teammates. The 2024 Paris Olympics will be the first Olympics with a 50:50 ratio of male and female athletes . At the last Olympics, women won 7 of the 12 equestrian gold medals .

Equestrians can stay at their peak for decades. At Tokyo 2020, Andrew Hoy won two medals in his 60s . The Australian made his Olympic debut in 1984 – 12 years before British dressage medallist Charlotte Fry was born .

Throughout the competition, please pay attention to Using the hashtags #ABondLikeNoOther and #Uniqueness , we will celebrate our unique sport and the extraordinary human and equine athletes who make it so special.

The Paris 2024 equestrian events will be held at the magnificent Palace and Parks of Versailles, a UNESCO World Heritage site that will provide a stunning backdrop for the entire event. A cross-country test event in August 2023 has already given spectators a glimpse of the exciting events to come.
