Google Doodle today: The tech giant has unveiled a special doodle to celebrate the para athletes who will take part in the Equestrian event at the Paris Paralympics 2024 today. The animated doodle features a tiny bird with a helmet, that rides a horse. Meanwhile a hen acts as the referee for the game.

“Galloping for gold! Time to saddle up for the Para Equestrian events at the Château de Versailles,” further added Google in its description. Unlike the Olympics, which has three equestrian disciplines, the Para games have only one, which is dressage. Both the rider and the horse are judged in this event. 

According to the official website, Olympics.com, the accuracy and the quality of riding, artistic finesses and the horse's gait and halts are some of the aspects on which the equestrian events are judged.

Although Para dressage began as a leisure activity, the first competitions were held in the 1970s.
