A "rave horse" might be San Diego's most famous athlete at the Summer Olympics in Paris.

Driving the news: Suppenkasper (or Mopsie) and rider Steffen Peters, whose beat-dropping dressage performances have gone viral on TikTok, are looking to dance their way to the podium.

The intrigue: Peters is Team USA's oldest athlete at 59 and is competing in his sixth Olympic Games.

He and his wife run the training business SPeters Dressage out of Arroyo Del Mar, an equestrian facility near Rancho Santa Fe.

What's next: See the duo perform their equestrian EDM routine in the individual qualifying round Wednesday at 4pm PT.

That will be their only chance for a medal since Team USA was disqualified from the team event due to a horse's injury.

What we're watching: San Diego's EDM spectacle CRSSD is at Waterfront Park in late September, allowing plenty of time for Mopsie to get some post-Olympics rest and make an appearance.

Maybe his biggest fan, Snoop Dogg, will come, too.
