Horse riding activities

There are a variety of different riding activities to choose from. It could be a gentle hack along bridleways, a more energetic cross country or competing in show jumps. The activities that you intend your horse to do will also help define what horse will be most suitable for you.

If you intend to go for gentle hacks in the countryside it would not be advisable to take on a former show jumper or racer as they would be used to a more vigorous exercise regime and may become bored or restless with a more pedestrian lifestyle. Whatever your intended use as long as you and your horse are getting regular exercise you will maintain a healthy horse.
