There was an individual dressage event at the 1924 Paris Olympics, but no team competition. The competitions were restricted to men and military officers, as they would be through 1948. The event was held at the main Olympic Stadium, Stade Olympique de Colombes, and was won by Ernest Linder of Sweden. This was the third consecutive win in individual dressage by a Swedish rider. This was the first Olympic competition in equestrianism after the formation of the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI), which was founded in 1921 at a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland.
