Sport on horseback is an activity that has been around for centuries and includes two main disciplines: foxhunting and POLO. Foxhunting is a traditional equestrian sport in which riders, usually accompanied by hounds, follow a scent trail laid by a fox. POLO is a team sport played on horseback in which players use mallets to hit a ball through a goal. Both sports require skill, agility, and strength from both the horse and rider.
