What are the other sports in equestrian?

Answer 1

There are three main disciplines in equestrian sports. They are English, Western, and Saddleseat. English can be broken down into various categories such as jumping, eventing, dressage. To be even more specific as in competitions like 4-h and breed shows they have pleasure (on the horse) and equitation (on the rider) classes and even showmanship where you don't ride but you lead a horse around a series of patterns ranging from a simple trot circle to a 450 degree pivot on the hindquarters and backups.

Western is very different as in equipment and clothes and style but have similar classes other than dressage, jumping and eventing.

Saddleseat is also very different and the breed of horse used is completely different than English and western riding. I cannot tell you much about the saddleseat discipline but it would be best to do a little research on the different styles of riding on the internet.
