{{Main|Horse show}}

[[Horse show]]s are held throughout the world with a tremendous variety of possible events, equipment, attire, and judging standards used. However, most forms of horse show competition can be broken into the following broad categories:
* [[Equitation]], sometimes called ''seat and hands'' or ''horsemanship'', refers to events where the rider is judged on form, style and ability.
* ''Pleasure, flat'' or ''under saddle'' classes feature horses who are ridden on the flat (not jumped) and judged on manners, performance, movement, style and quality.
* ''Halter, in-hand breeding'' or ''conformation'' classes, where the horse is led by a handler on the ground and judged on conformation and suitability as a breeding animal.
* ''Harness'' classes, where the horse is [[Driving (horse)|driven]] rather than ridden, but still judged on manners, performance and quality.
* ''Jumping'' or ''Over Fences'' refers broadly to both [[show jumping]] and [[show hunter]], where horses and riders must jump obstacles.
