Horse Agility is a fast exciting way to have fun with your horse without riding. So it's appeal as a new National Equestrian Sport ranges from horse riders who want to develop a better partnership and rapport with their horse or pony, to people who either can't or don't want to ride but want to enjoy a challenge with their equines.
So if you have a young horse (or ridden horse) who needs to learn and build confidence, a horse or pony that can't be ridden for behavioural or physical reasons, a pony that's too small for you, or you simply fancy doing something completely different that is fun and will challenge you and your horse - Horse Agility gives everyone the chance to compete. All ages, types, sizes and levels.
Horse Agility comprises a variety of obstacles for the horse (or pony) to complete - at the higher levels this is against the clock, which makes it a great spectator sport! Horse Agility tests your horse’s physical as well as his emotional fitness and tests your ability as a trainer to keep your horse travelling safely over the course effectively and with style.
At some venues horses will even be available to borrow or hire.
