Polo is hockey on horseback. What other sports would be better with the addition of horses?

    I vote paintball with horse armor.

    Also the markers are mounted on the horse, turning them into agile paint tanks.

      Horses are social animals that enjoy being active. I don’t know where animal cruelty was mentioned here?

      I’d argue that most equestrian sports would be better with bicycles. Bicycle polo is apparently a thing.

        It was and it was horrible. Horses have been, and still are, incredibly mistreated and it’s sickening some practices that are still allowed today

    Chess.

    I wanna see two nerds trying to castle while riding at a full gallop, trying to juggle the board on the back of a saddle like a first-time dad trying to tell his wife to hold on until they get to the hospital.

      You should check out chessboxing it’s actually very entertaining

      They dont actually fight and play chess at rhe same time, they alternate, but the whiplash is wild. And you’ve got high-level players completely shook making blunders cause they were fighting 30 seconds ago

        We knew a former basketball donkey named Barbara. She was so very sweet. We would stop to give her a carrot or apple, she was very used to people and very old.
