A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Pole dancing?
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.
This thread is terrible, the obvious answer is surfing.
Taekwondo
I read through all of these suggestions and up voted mom. But even after reading all the others, yours still made me audibly chuckle.
Bobsledding.
"Feel the horses, feel the rhyme, get on up, it's bobsled time"
Polo is Croquet on Horseback
Um… 🤯
Water polo seems cruel to the horses.
Then we should hippos instead
So water polo with murder cows?
Sure I’d watch that.

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.
That one season of Yu-Gi-Oh where they rode motorbikes for no reason
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
So what we're saying is: chess jousting
Chess without horses is just lacking something
Knights usually.
Swords would be a great addition too!
Ski jump, obv.
Rugby
Baseball
Equine baseball would be awesome if the field was double the size. The speed involved in base running and outfield would be awesome

Most sports are worse when you add in animal cruelty imo
Horses are social animals that enjoy being active. I don't know where animal cruelty was mentioned here?
I'd argue that most equestrian sports would be better with bicycles. Bicycle polo is apparently a thing.
Is your question implying that you think polo is better than hockey? No way!
Diving. I'm still not convinced that this is real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_horse

Skydiving.
Nascar
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?
The horse is in the driver seat.
