Do you have a favourite horsey sport or activity? Like...showjumping or dressage etc?
Personally, I love most except racing as I don't watch it.

Reining. :3 That's what I want to go into when I'm older, personally. Trails aren't exactly a sport but it's all I've been able to do.
I like watching any of the Western speed events but don't have the guts to do them. XD
English is just... bleh, to me.

I watched a bunch of rodeo videos which made me rethink my liking of broncriding and such.

I don't like bronc/bareback. :/ Bucking straps and spurs. 'nuff said. And I assume you're saying that after watching a rodeo cruelty video, try making it through "The cruelty of the bit" or something of the sort. It'll make you guilty you've ever ridden in any discipline...
I don't think they fall under the speed events either. I'm talking like... Barrels, pole bending, keyhole, etc.

Pole and barrel are like "blink-and-miss-it" eents! They're so fast, it's amazing! What's "keyhole"?

Keyhole. they draw a like... narrow track in the ground that's pretty short and a large circle at the end of it. Goal: Charge full tilt towards the circle and then at the last second, spin in the circle and zip back out. My friend said you usually have to get the horse to turn from a rear if you want even a qualifying time. Her and her quarab are the record holders in their division here for keyhole and barrels.

Sounds fun! It's amazing how those horses can turn and react so quickly.

ShowJumping, what I've done in the past. Reining, what I really really want to learn how to do but of course the only horse I have that rides western is Chip and lets see... after his abuse I'm not even going to think about putting a saddle, bridle, or myself on that poor little boy. Dressage, I like to watch... tried to learn it nearly lost my mind.
Basically I like to ride any fast paced sport and watch Dressage and everything else is pretty much blocked by blinders. lol
