Equestrian - Equestrianism relates to the riding of horses. This broad description
includes both riding horses for practical purposes such as in police work or
for controlling herd animals on a ranch, as well as recreational and sporting
aspects such as horse riding sports, carriage driving, dressage, endurance
racing, eventing, horseball, paraequestrianism, reining, show jumping, tent
pegging, vaulting, and polo. Other horse riding sports include horse-racing,
hunting, fox hunting, rodeo, barrel racing, pole bending, flag racing,
western and hunter pleasure, western and hunt-seat equitation, trail class,
showmanship, horsemanship, roping (heading and heeling), park, English
pleasure, country English pleasure, saddle seat equitation, jousting, and
cavalry. Often, horses are used for casual or rigorous recreational riding
(also called trail riding or hacking). Recreational riders often hunt, pack,
and camp using horses, mules, and donkeys. There is public access to horse
trails in almost every part of the world; and many parks, ranches, and barns
offer guided and independent trail riding.
