What is Field Sports?

Equestrian field sports are outdoor disciplines built around structured field challenges. Riders tackle competitive and traditional activities such as hunting, pace racing, and cross-country tasks across open terrain. These disciplines emphasize practical horsemanship and field-based skill over casual riding. They are distinct from trail leisure, endurance distance, and indoor activities like ski joering or TREC.
