Water Polo
post
Chess without horses is just lacking something
Diving. I'm still not convinced that this is real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_horse
It absolutely was. ☹️
Texas Hold 'Em
That’s actually a thing in some asian countries.
Basketball
It kind of already exists
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzkashi
Oh, oh, let's have human basketball played with a goat carcass, we could call it Buzbasket.
There's this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_basketball
We knew a former basketball donkey named Barbara. She was so very sweet. We would stop to give her a carrot or apple, she was very used to people and very old.
Biathlon. Would love to see a horse fire a rifle.
Does the horse ride along in the car with its head sticking out of the roof, or do multiple horses carry each car around the course? Or! Do horses pull a wagon with the car on it?
Greco-Roman wrestling.
I wanna see a horse get suplexed.
Curling, ice skating, synchronized swimming. It'd be hard to find a sport that wouldn't be improved by horses.
Polo is Croquet on Horseback
Water polo seems cruel to the horses.
Then we should hippos instead
Hey there Georgie.
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
That one season of Yu-Gi-Oh where they rode motorbikes for no reason
Shooting. Preferably with an equestrian event style course. Would be rather entertaining I think but spectator seating would be…. Complicated.
Snooker.
Baseball
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.
Taekwondo
Hobby horsing
I do not enjoy hockey, but let's not for a second pretend that Polo is better than hockey.
I don't see anywhere that was said.
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.
Bobsledding.
"Feel the horses, feel the rhyme, get on up, it's bobsled time"
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).
Fencing or pole jumping
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
