Many people most associate horses with leisure activities, competitions, and sports. The Kentucky Derby, trail riding, dressage, polo, barrel racing, and many other events have popularized the concept of equestrian sports. The rules of each sport vary, along with the required equipment, dress, and setting. While some sports are recognized internationally, many are regionally specific and retain local character. Despite these differences, each sport tests the relationship between horse and rider through demanding maneuvers or difficult riding conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Saddle
<\/strong>United States, Early 21st<\/sup> Century, Loan from Martine Sherrill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saddles used in the Western style of riding developed from the rugged gear used for American ranch work, such as herding and roping. The horn at the front and the raised back provide security and comfort for the rider. These saddles are easily recognizable due to their presence in films and other popular media as a piece of traditional \u2018cowboy\u2019 gear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Saddle
<\/strong>France, Late 20th<\/sup> Century, Loan from Martine Sherrill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saddles used in the English style of riding are designed to give the horse more freedom to move in activities like jumping and running. English style saddles have changed slightly since their inception in the 18th<\/sup> century but have kept their sleekness and smaller seat size. This kind of saddle is used during Olympic competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
