Beg to differ with the author.

Female equestrians compete on a level field with males.

They go to the Olympics regularly.

The difference would be if women would still use side saddles like they used to several hundred years ago.

Apples and oranges....

Equestrian sports, like most motor sports, shooting sports, etc., do NOT rely on the physical strength to the human participant: the horse, car, or gun are the strength, the human is the brain.

Men and women can compete equally in those arenae...

Because horses are the ‘muscle’ while riders are the director.

“Female equestrians compete on a level field with males.”

Same with shooters and chess players, since victory doesn’t depend on the physical strength of the human in those events.

Not exactly relevant, though, to physical sports like running, wrestling, etc.
