Mounted Orienteering

Home > Sports > Equestrian > Mounted Orienteering

Based upon the objectives of the pioneers and explorers of the past centuries - the goal being to ride safely cross county from Point A to Point B while negotiating an unknown area with only a map as a guide - this sport involves a horse, map, compass, and a good sense of direction. The sport provides a fun unique learning experience and can be practiced either as a single or team effort.
