English Riding / DisciplinesHi! Since the poll I put up only needed 5 minutes to get 6 votes "we need discipline guides" I figured I give this a shot right away. Feel free to comment to add things ect, but please be polite about it. I'm only human, I make mistakes.English Riding: Dressage, Endurance, Eventing & Show Jumping
SO! Let's start!
10/07/2013 - I think it's more or less finished. Remember, this isn't supposed to be a detailed guide but one to give people a general idea over what the disciplines are and what the goals are!
Also, if I used a thumb that features your art/tutorial/whatever, and you don't like it, just tell me and please be polite about it. Be happy, not angry I don't claim them in any way; I simply think they're beautiful and are great examples of what I'm trying to explain! It's a free feature!

Air competitions
Air Competitions refers to all competitions in the Air. So, horses that can fly, usually Pegasus.
Also see; FlyingCreatures-ARPG, Thuas & HArpg-WHA
Air Racing: Several types of races exist. Air Endurance (flying on stamina), Short Air Races (focus on speed), ... All kinds of racing can be done in air. The point is to reach the finish-line first.
Air Agility; Exactly what you think it is! Sometimes you are required to fly around obstacles, trough hoops, ect ... This can be compared with show jumping on the ground. This disincline can be done both with and without rider.
Air Rodeo; Mostly comparable with roping in western; you and your flying horse must attempt to capture a flying animal. Dragons, Large fictional birds, and large fictional bats are often used for this. Trow a lasso around your goal as quickly as possible!
Air Paintball; what it sounds like; Paintball on a flying horse!
Air Hunting; Similar to hunting on the ground, and Air Rodeo; however, with Air Hunting, it's usually only the point only to grab a ribbon off your target or to touch your target.

Quidditch: Yes, the Harry Potter game. Replace the brooms by flying horses and game on! Catch the snitch, smack the Bludgers away & score using the Quaffle!
Thuas is a sport designed and made by noebelle. You can design and create your own sports in the air of course!
Freestyle power showoff
Freestyle Power Showoff is a contest for otherworldly horses; Many of our fantasy and otherworldly horses have powers, such as fire-breathing, teleporation, elemental manipulation, ect ...
In this class, your horse gets to show off what (s)he can do. This is often combined with teaching a horse tricks, some freestyle dressage, western or jumping. This class can be ridden or not, even with or without track. This class often allows pets, multiple handlers or other horses to come in the ring.
For example, a horse might breath fire, set a ring on fire, and then jump trough.
Examples in a breed, are the Nordanner potions or the Marandian gems.
Fire Competitions
Sheer power level competitions go in the Freestyle Power Showoff. Fire Competitions include Fiery Racing, Mock Battles, Hoop Racing (similar to barrelracing), and FireShots (how well the horse can control its fire; aiming at specific targets, etc).
Earth-Type Sports
For those Earth-Type Equines. This includes Underground Racing, Strength Showoff (though not just physical, but through the use of earth power), etc. More to come soon.
Water Sports
Specially designed for hippocampi and other water horses. Water Polo, Racing, Hide and Seek, Treasure Hunting, etc.
