More about Working Equitation....
The sport of Working Equitation is the ultimate outcome of the development of the horse as a working animal. It is often associated with the Iberian breeds, but is open and suitable to every breed of horse. Here in the UK there are a huge variety of breeds competing.
Horses were originally domesticated and trained for farming and herding purposes, work which required them to respond to their rider whatever terrain and difficulties they may face.
The sport is a highly refined and sophisticated demonstration of these activities, but with the added required quality of elegance and speed of execution.
Working Equitation comprises 3 phases - Dressage, Ease of Handling and Speed.
Working Equitation is a real test of the horses temperament and training, the riders skill and ability and of course the relationship between horse and rider.
