Riding is the sport and practice of horseback riding. Equestrianism is a specialty within equestrian sports, and both the rider and the horse are evaluated.
Equestrianism as an Olympic sport has three disciplines:

Dressage is a specialty within the equestrian sport in which a complete rapport between horse and rider is required. During the dressage tests, the animal must perform all the movements indicated by the rider.
