    Ice hockey. I mean, ice polo. The fights would be wicked.

    I vote paintball with horse armor.

    Also the markers are mounted on the horse, turning them into agile paint tanks.

      I read through all of these suggestions and up voted mom. But even after reading all the others, yours still made me audibly chuckle.

    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.

      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

      Equine baseball would be awesome if the field was double the size. The speed involved in base running and outfield would be awesome

    Is your question implying that you think polo is better than hockey? No way!

      Not horses, but there’s a version of bullfighting in japan which is basically just a couple of bulls pushing each other around. If all goes well, neither gets hurt.

      Eta they call it bull sumo
