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.

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. 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.

He recognises voices and tones just like humans. Horses are very aware of their surroundings and are careful creatures. This is why i love horses so much.

None of my family are particularly interested in horses, however I am infatuated by them. Ever since I was 11 I have ridden horses and have always dreamed of having my own. I used to ride every weekend at my local stables and loved every minute of it! Getting older has only made me enjoy it more, despite the falls and tumbles!

I have owned my horse for 9 years and as he is now getting very close to 20 I thought I'd give myself a new challenge. so I searched through the websites, viewed loads of horses and finally settled on a 15.2hh 3yr old appaloosa. She had only just been broken and had only been ridden in walk and a small amount of trot on a circle. Went throught all the usual stages had her vetted etc and finally got her home. I had forgotten how spooky young horses could be from being around my old boy for so long, I was beginning to worry what I had let myself in for!!! After a few days she had settled and I began to ride her. Having a youngster is really frustrating some days ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Horse Riding in General: A Weekend In Rutland or How I Survived 24 Hours In Tunbridge ... (2340 words)

Born out of a momentary lapse of mild reason or enthusiasm for Monty Python, Rutland Weekend Television was conceived, carried and strenuously given birth to by the most convincing of the MP team, Eric Idle. The ex president of Footlights at Cambridge came to us as being one of the most forward thinking comedy writers of the 20th Century, leading the path already paved by performers such as Peter Sellers and Kenneth Williams. Idle had been a solo writer from his days at Python so working on an idea created from the depths of his own brain was not a difficult concept to perform. From originally thinking of an project based around a spoof radio station ...  Read the complete review

In today’s world, the vast majority of people are always on the look-out for a bargain or to get something for nothing. We are bombarded with special offers in our day to day lives wherever we are. In supermarkets you get buy one get one free offers, three for the price of two and a certain percentage extra free on certain products. On the internet, you get money off and free gift incentives as well extra time or minutes on certain things. These offers are very good for the consumers in many ways, but they are also rather deceiving in many ways. They give the consumer a reward or a bonus that they think is to their benefit but in the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Horse Riding in General: think it's time to think about heaven (1404 words)

I'm sorry I didn't mention this in my last review about the Tsunami because it is the most wonderfull promise. God promises eternal Life to those Who trust In Jesus as Lord and confess it with their mouth and beleive in their heart that God raised Him from the Dead. Here is a historical story that best describes the wonder of Heaven and the unending costly debt in hell. Two criminals were led away to be executed with Him. When they arrived at the place called the skull they crucified Him there, along with the criminals one on the right the other on the left. Then Jesus said "Father forgive them, because they do not know what they ...  Read the complete review
