For transportation, military use, or recreation, horseback riding has long been a well-respected and important talent. Today, horseback riding is primarily recreational with a thriving competitive circle. An internationally practiced sport, equestrianism has various schools of competition. The English and Western schools serve as the most common division, each comprised of various events. Jumping, Eventing, and Vaulting, though they may be included within a Western or English competition may also be considered independently of the two riding styles. Dressage, especially classical dressage, rounds out the list of equestrian showmanship sports.
