Horse Agility ? The new sport for all
Horse agility is an equestrian sport that is growing rapidly in popularity because people who love horses have found that they can now compete at the highest levels without having to ride. However it is now attracting people who realise that training a horse effectively from the ground has enormously positive implications for training from the saddle.
In this fast and exciting sport the horse has to overcome a number of challenging obstacles, sometimes against the clock, being guided by a handler who moves along with him. The speed, drama, tension and excitement of the competition make this a great spectator sport.
Horse Agility tests the horse?s physical as well as his emotional fitness and tests the handler?s ability as a trainer to keep the horse travelling safely over the course effectively and with style.
The sport is great for people who can?t or don?t want to ride, disabled people who are unable to ride but can move alongside a horse as it completes the obstacle course, horses that are unable to be ridden for behavioural or physical reasons, ponies that are too small for an adult rider and for giving young horses confidence before they are started under saddle. It gives everyone the chance to compete without having to ride or spend hours preparing their horse for non-ridden showing classes.
Because of the levels structure of the competitions there is always a new skill to learn and improve and at the higher levels horses compete within an arena at liberty without a lead rope. The top level athletes can then move onto Wild Agility in which horse and handler travel at least 5km across country against the clock completing a number of natural obstacles along the way.
Competitions and training days are being arranged all over the UK with great opportunities for sponsorship by companies who want to be involved at the beginning of a new and fast growing sport.
