In the equestrian sport, there are different disciplines. A few of them are show jumping, cross country jumping, dressage, barrel racing, racing and many more. There are 2 types of riding. English and western. English is jumping, cross country and dressage. Western is barrel racing and stuff you would see at a rodeo. Show jumping is where there is a course and you have to get the fastest time and the least amount of faults. Faults are when you knock a rail off of the jump. Cross country is solid jumps that don't fall down if you knock them. You have to go as fast as you can but the course is really long and isn't in an arena. It's pretty much like an endurance run with jumps. I ride English so I don't know much about Western riding disciplines but I do know about barrel racing. Barrel racing is where there are 3 barrels set up in a large triangle shape. You have to go a certain way around them and as fast as you can without knocking them over.
