Polo is hockey on horseback. What other sports would be better with the addition of horses?

    This thread is terrible, the obvious answer is surfing.

    Water polo seems cruel to the horses.

    Chess.

    I wanna see two nerds trying to castle while riding at a full gallop, trying to juggle the board on the back of a saddle like a first-time dad trying to tell his wife to hold on until they get to the hospital.

      Equine baseball would be awesome if the field was double the size. The speed involved in base running and outfield would be awesome

      Not horses, but there’s a version of bullfighting in japan which is basically just a couple of bulls pushing each other around. If all goes well, neither gets hurt.

      Eta they call it bull sumo

    Is your question implying that you think polo is better than hockey? No way!

      I’d argue that most equestrian sports would be better with bicycles. Bicycle polo is apparently a thing.
