Is your horse playful, energetic and looking for fun?
Do you want to compete in an exciting horse sport without having to ride?
Then why not try Horse Agility?
"Equinetourism.co.uk is helping to promote the new equestrian sport of Horse Agility because we believe this is a fantastic development in horse training which encourages people to build better partnerships with their horses and ponies. It is a sport which is accessible for everyone, yet challenging enough to be supremely appealing for top competitors and intelligent, trainable equines. It is a wonderful sport for people with ponies who are perhaps too small to ride, or horses which are healthy and fit but who can’t be ridden. It is also an outstanding training opportunity for young horses and ridden horses, where horse and handler can learn to work as a team and develop better rapport and partnership on the ground." EQUINETOURISM.CO.UK
What is Horse Agility?
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.
