Equitation classes judge the rider only, including position on the flat, over fences and overall effectiveness while riding. It is not imperative that the equitation horse has perfect movement or jumping form but it needs good manners and an attractive way of going that does not detract from the rider’s performance. Although temperament is not judged, horses with a more tractable temperament are generally easier to ride and can help riders demonstrate their skills. Stepping Stones offers for sale or lease several talented equitation warmblood sporthorses and ponies.
