Who knew that Equestrian might be one of the most talked-about sports of the 2024 Paris Olympics? One of the sports’ most decorated athletes, Great Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin, withdrew from competition this week just days before competition is set to begin after video surfaced of Dujardin whipping a horse. Dujardin, who was set to compete in the dressage competition, has been replaced on the British team by Becky Moody.

On the American side, the U.S. is sending a total of twelve riders to the Olympics to compete in three events, dressage, jumping, and eventing. (In case you were curious about how the American horses that compete at the Games actually get to France, they fly there – and even need passports to board. Who knew?) The Equestrian events will be held at Versailles during the Paris Games, making for a royally entertaining backdrop.

If you’re planning to watch Equestrian, here’s the complete schedule and list of competitors at this year’s Games.

Dates: July 27 to August 6

Location: Palace of Versailles
