A unique view of a whimsical obstacle for riders in Versailles
One of the best parts about the Olympics can be the creativity and variety found in the arenas and courses. For the 2024 equestrian cross-country course, designer Pierre Le Goupil took inspiration from the features and grounds of the Palace of Versailles, creating 28 decorative obstacles—including this fence shaped like a stag’s head, with antlers reaching up more than 23 feet (7 meters) on either side.
Here, Team Australia’s Kevin McNab, riding the horse Don Quidam, clears the hurdle during the equestrian cross-country leg on Day 2 of the 2024 Olympic Games at Chateau de Versailles in Versailles, France.
