    Curling, ice skating, synchronized swimming. It'd be hard to find a sport that wouldn't be improved by horses.

    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.

    You should check out chessboxing it's actually very entertaining

    They dont actually fight and play chess at rhe same time, they alternate, but the whiplash is wild. And you've got high-level players completely shook making blunders cause they were fighting 30 seconds ago

    Shooting. Preferably with an equestrian event style course. Would be rather entertaining I think but spectator seating would be…. Complicated.

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

    I vote paintball with horse armor.

    Also the markers are mounted on the horse, turning them into agile paint tanks.

    Ice hockey. I mean, ice polo. The fights would be wicked.

    I do not enjoy hockey, but let's not for a second pretend that Polo is better than hockey.

    Donkey basketball is enough of a thing that I’ve seen it played multiple times with my own eyes.

    Although it’s mostly for comedy rather than genuine sport.

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

    Math Olympiads (if the horses had to answer the questions, like Clever Hans).

    Congratulations! You've re-engineered Jousting with that first one

    EDIT: This is why I should't comment on things before I've had my coffee. Jousting, not Fencing
