Equestrianism refers to the skill of riding or driving horses. This broad description includes both use of horses for practical, working purposes as well as recreational activities and competitive sports.
Horses are trained and ridden for practical working purposes such as in
police work or for controlling herd animals on a ranch. They are also used
in competitive sports including, but not limited to dressage, endurance
racing, eventing, reining, show jumping, tent pegging, vaulting, polo,
horse racing, combined driving, and rodeo. (See additional equestrian
sports listed later in this article for more examples.) Some popular forms
of competition are grouped together at horse shows, where horse perform in
a wide variety of disciplines. Horses (and other equids such as mules and
donkeys) are used for non-competitive recreational riding such as fox
hunting, trail riding or hacking. There is public access to horse trails
in almost every part of the world; many parks, ranches, and barns offer
both guided and independent trail riding. Horses are also ridden for
therapeutic purposes, both in specialized paraequestrian competition as
well as non-competitive riding to improve human health and emotional
development. |
