Thoroughbred racing grew in popularity with the British aristocracy, which is why it is often labeled as the “Sport of Kings.” Much like how rodeos evolved out of the practice of cowboys, horse racing gave equestrians an opportunity to hone their skills in order to prepare themselves for battle.

Typical American horse racing will feature races restricted to particular breeds or running over obstacles. Flat racing is a common event where horses race from one point to another either in a straight line or oval track. Steeplechasing is when horses race over various obstacles.
