The discipline of Working Equitation, which is very popular in Europe, especially Spain and Portugal, is quickly growing in popularity in the USA because of the unique blend of classical riding movements, reining movements and negotiating obstacles. Great fit for children & adults- any safe tack. Western, English, Endurance, Hybrid all welcome.
