Pleasure

Pleasure riding is a discipline that encompasses many forms of recreational riding for personal enjoyment, absent elements of competition. Many horses are suitable for pleasure riding, including grade horses and other animals of ordinary quality and good disposition.

Recent studies have indicated the pleasure riding is the number-one equine activity engaged in by horse owners.

As part of the Farmlands Horse of the Year Show 2015, the Pleasure section is based on the performance of the horses. They are judged on their manners, performance and way of going, originally to determine a horse's suitability to be a pleasure riding mount.
