Point-to-point

A point-to-point is a form of horseracing over fences for hunting horses and amateur riders. In Ireland, where the sport is open to licensed - i.e. professional - trainers, many of the horses will appear in these races before they compete in National Hunt races.

Leisure

Flat racing

Flat racing is a form of horse racing which is run on a level racecourse. It is run over a predetermined distance and is either a test of speed, stamina or both, whilst the skill of the jockey is determined by his ability to restrain the horse or urge it on.

Cross-country

Show jumping

Show jumping is part of a group of English riding equestrian events that also includes dressage, eventing, hunting and equitation. Jumping classes are commonly seen at horse shows throughout the world, including the Olympics.

Horse Showmanship

Showmanship is an event found at many horse shows. It involves a person on the ground leading a horse, wearing a halter or bridle, through a series of maneuvers called a pattern.

Field hunting

A field hunter, or a fox hunter, is a type of horse used in the hunt field for fox hunting and stag hunting. In some ways, the field hunter is more similar to a good cross-country horse seen in eventing than a show-ring hunter.

Reining

Originating from working cattle, reining is often described as a Western form of dressage riding, as it requires the horse to be responsive and in tune with its rider.
