According to society, Equestrians are jockeys that race around a track. But to anyone who’s actually ridden or has a passion for horses, you know that there are two distinctive styles of riding - English and Western. There are both similarities and differences between the two types of riding. Regardless of the style of riding people participate in or favor, each world of riding opens up various activities for the rider to enjoy.

“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” -Winston Churchill. Horses not only inspire their riders, but also the spectators. The art of equestrian is generally disregarded as a competitive sport. Being a rider not only takes raw talent but also devotion, skill, concentration, knowledge, and strength. With a variety of riding styles, it’s difficult to express which one is superior to the others. There is tension between the horsemen with different riding styles; each believe their accomplishments take more skill. Western Pleasure riding and English Hunter Jumpers are two distinctive techniques with diverse characteristics, but

But you just sit there, you may be thinking; you just make the horse go and stop. All you’re doing is staying on top of the animal and telling it where to go and how fast, when to turn, when to jump, and so on. You’re not really doing anything. It’s not a sport. You don’t run around, or use balls, or score goals, or anything like that. That’s what the horse is doing, and you’re along for the ride. That means you’re not playing a sport.

When competing in hunter over fences, it is key to have an even stride, a smooth gait, an elegant form over fences, and

Horsemen in the United States have maintained exquisite equestrian competition since the 18th century. In order to unite shows, regulate proper guidelines for horsemanship, and bring riders together in competition from across the country, the Association of American Horse Shows was established in early 1918. This association of horsemen would go on to evolve and institute structured guidelines that would further the equestrian sport for years to come.

Before the thoroughbred lineage was even established, the racing fad had already begun. Unlike today, horse racing wasn’t a quick lap around the track. It was a four mile endeavor, run multiple times, that only the fittest horses could run in; the event was called heat racing. The heat races would be between two horses and repeated until one horse had won the event twice or ‘distanced’ the opponent (Bower et al, 2012).

The Arabian also is known to be ridden in English and western pleasure riding. This is not necessarily considered to be a sport to some people, but it still takes a lot of work and talent from both the horse and the rider.

Interacting with horses has always been a passion of mine since I was five. When I was little, my parents gave me an array of dolls and a few horse figurines to amuse myself with. I always used to ignore the girl dolls and play with horse figurines. Luckily, my older sister treasured dolls so she just sneakily stole them away from me one by one while I occupied myself with my horse figurines for hours. I have always admired horses’ strength, power and beauty. My interest in horses has caused me to search through websites and books for new ways to connect with them. After thousands of hours researching, I finally found my calling. Many years later, show jumping has become a positive aspect on my life. One important aspect of show jumping is training. Training before a show has taught me many lessons that I can apply to other aspects of my life. To help improve with my training, I use many forms of genre. A genre aids in classifying different texts that share the same characteristics. While genres through speeches and books are most commonly used for training, videos are also used to help me gain more insight into the world of show jumping.

In the Atlanta Olympics of 1996 the Freestyle dressage made its daube. It’s the kind of sport you find yourself watching when you’re just flicking through the channels.

Jumps became taller, the spreads became wider, and the courses grew longer. For each nation, four of the best respictive rider and horse combinations will compete as a team and individually. Each rider’s goal is to jump clear and finish under the alloted time. When the Olympics roll around each year the anticipation of the team choice is always
