equitation

The art, skill, or practice of riding a horse: "Equitation" refers specifically to the technique and style of horseback riding, often with an emphasis on correct form, balance, and control of the rider. 2. The sport or activity of horseback riding: It can also denote the general activity or sport of riding horses.
