Sooooo: The basic two riding "classes": classical/English and Western. Classical is composed of jumping and dressage (which I'll explain later). Then we have western, which is composed of barrel racing and rodeo riding. I ride classical.

Now here are the numbers events in riding: Racing: belongs to neither class, self-explanatory

Classical Show Jumping: a course is set up and the rider must maneuver the horse over numerous obstacles of varying difficulties. It is judged based off of time and whether or not the horse had knocked any obstacles down.

Hunting: same thing as jumping, except judged off of performance, proportions and skill

Dressage: look this one up online, I can't really explain it lol

Western Rodeo riding: a rider tries not to be bucked off the horse

Barrel racing: a rider navigates many round obstacles in tight circles

Any questions?
