Riding Disciplines!

Riding Disciplines
Horseback riding is a sport that puts you in close contact with nature. There are many disciplines of riding, each very different from the other.

Dressage:
It is the basis for any discipline but goes far beyond those who practice it. Tests are 5-7 minutes during which the horse and rider must perform a series of exercises that are scored from 1-10 by judges. Depending on the test will be 3 to 5 judges. Is said to be the basis of any discipline because dressage is the first thing the horse must learn. Following a lower level dressage, horses are being prepared to learn other disciplines. However, horsemen and practicing dressage are those who have more problems in reaching the perfection of the exercises performed. Many say it is the discipline most complicated of all is that dressage is considered an art.

Hurdle:
Perhaps it is the best known of all discipline. When it comes to riding, most people turn their gaze to jumping. It may be because it is the most-watched television and more entertaining for those who practice it, because it is easier to understand if the rider does well or not. It consists of a tour in the shortest time possible and without pulling any stick. Each suit will be pulled 4 points. The more points you score worse.

Raid:
Discipline in which the horse and rider must make a tour of the countryside. The tour also find different natural or artificial jumps to be overcome. Is more complicated than the jump and play with the factor that nature and that a single obstacle comes to have meters apart. Is the jump for the more adventurous.

Full:
Well composed of undecided or those who love both dressage and jumping. If at first you may think that these two disciplines are opposite, full riders are the exception that proves the rule. The complete horse needs to know to make a dressage test in the corresponding rectangular and run a jumping competition. It is true that the evidence more closely resemble jumping discipline. Dressage exercises made in full, exercises are usually lower level of the discipline.

Doma Vaquera:
Similar to dressage but with major differences. The dressage is made by those who are more tied to the field. Very common in Andalusia. Exercises are performed similar to dressage but more accelerated. For you to understand, a pirouette in dressage usually about four or five strides depending on the horse, while in this discipline has a single stride, is done in a. Rejoneo horses are subjugated in this way, and therefore belong to this discipline.

Polo:
It is a sport in which two teams of four players each on horseback, trying to live a plastic or wooden ball into the opposite goal. Bats with carrying the ball are called tacos, and the goal is formed by two rattan poles. The aim is to score as many goals as possible. It is the only discipline that is played in teams, the rest of the result is individual disciplines, depend on yourself.

High School:
It is a discipline in which the horse performs a series of exercises but in this case, the rider is dismounted. The Royal High School Foundation of Horsemanship is a pioneer along with the Vienna School. The best horses for this discipline are the Pure Spanish and Lipizzaner
