Horse Agility is not only an upcoming horse sport but it is a great way to build an extensive language with your horse. Horse agility is ground work with obstacles. Each month a new course of ten obstacles is presented and you can tape yourself and enter the competition. You can compete with a halter and lead and at liberty where the horse has to follow your instruction without any type of restraint. I consider a horse following your direction with no lead the ultimate in communication you can have with these creatures.

Horse agility is a great discipline for those of you who own horses but can’t yet, or no longer, ride them. Even if you ride you should consider playing with this discipline. Anything positive you do with your horse on the ground helps improve your riding because, if it builds trust and respect, this will carry over into the relationship you have with your horse when you are on its back.

There is now a riding division called Equagility, where you complete 5 obstacles on the ground and then mount and ride through them. The goals is to do it without the use of your rein so it is a great way to improve your body language during riding.
