Sport horse is a term
used in the United States to describe a type of horse, although not
any particular breed. It usually encompasses any horse that is used
for the English-styled equestrian disciplines or for fox hunting.
These disciplines include dressage, eventing, hunter competition,
and show jumping. However, some consider those used as show hunters
to be show horses, rather than sport horses. Horses used for
combined driving may also be referred to as sport horses. Horses
used for western riding disciplines, Saddle seat, or any form of
horse racing are not considered sport horses. |
