40. Show jumping
Show Jumping: Riders ride in a ring jumping over
colourful fences with rails that can be knocked down.
Speed matters.
42. Flat Racing
Horses and jockeys run around an oval track
competing against each other for the highest
position.
43. Steeplechase
Similar to flat racing, but there are hedges set up
around the track. The horses have to race around
the oval while jumping over the hedges.
44. Polo
Two teams of four use long handled mallets to knock a
wooden ball through the other team’s goal post. This
is usually played on a field that can be up to a length
of 300 yards.
45. Dressage
A ring sport where the rider uses slight signals with
his/her legs and hands. The horses are taught how
to do certain moves, and it kind of looks like horse
dancing.
46. English Show Classes
Riders ride around in a ring and follow simple
instructions like ‘transition to canter’. The pair that
transitions the most smoothly wins.
48. Hunter-Jumper
Similar to show jumping. The pair ride around and try
to jump as nicely as they can. It is also a style of
riding called hunt seat.
52. Barrel Racing
The pair ride around a pattern that looks like this
and try to go as fast as possible without knocking
over any of the barrels.
55. Trail Courses
There is a course set up in a ring, and the riders have
to go through it and the pair who does all the
obstacles smoothly wins. There can be obstacles like
gates to open, or poles to ride over.
57. Measuring
Horses are measured with hands to the withers
(shoulders) . Each hand is four inches. Most horses
are around 15 to 16 hh (hands high).
