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 activities
and competitive sports such as riding sports, carriage driving, dressage,
endurance racing, eventing, horseball, paraequestrianism, reining, show
jumping, show hunter, tent pegging, vaulting, and polo. Other horse riding
sports include horse-racing, fox hunting, rodeo events such as barrel
racing and team roping, pole bending, flag racing, and countless Horse
show classes, including "pleasure" classes, equitation, trail
class, showmanship, park, English pleasure, country English pleasure,
saddle seat equitation, jousting, and cavalry. Often, horses are used
for 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 both guided and independent trail
riding.
In former times equestrianism was closely associated with the military:
medieval knights were equestrians, as were their military successors,
the cavalry. However, the horse and horseback riding have had an important
part in all times and places, from the times of the Roman empire, to medieval
knights, to Genghis Khan and his armies, to the streets of London, to
the farms and frontiers of the United States, to the luxury barns and
fast-paced horse show world of today.
