An equestrian competition with no horse abuse controversy.GIF

It's called "Hobby horsing"...

It's a relatively new international competition that started around 2017.

The first World Championships were even held in Belgium.

The competition format is similar to general equestrian sports.

Looking at the 2022 World Championships as a reference,

Dressage, Classic and Freestyle, Jumping, Sprint, and Beauty.

There are four main categories,

But the difference from general equestrian sports is...

Unlike other equestrian sports, which are always at the center of controversy,

There are no excessive training or maintenance costs beyond imagination.

And there is no issue of horse abuse, which has always existed due to training.

Also, instead of a living horse, you ride this horse(?).

You ride around with a horse like this.

If you look at it without thinking, you might wonder "What on earth is this...",

But it's surprisingly known as a prestigious and serious competition.
