[lovinganimals2011]

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but what is equitation? We don't have it in Ireland as far as I know. I do showjumping. What is the difference between equitation and showjumping?

[Donttouchmethere817]

@lovinganimals2011 its a division that has under saddle and over fences. and during those phases riders must prove to the judges how the get around the course cleanly, effortlessly, and standing out, its about the riders ability to control the horse into doing the exact things the rider and judges are looking for.
