A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Chess without horses is just lacking something
Swords would be a great addition too!

Oh, oh, let's have human basketball played with a goat carcass, we could call it Buzbasket.

hobby horsing
This thread is terrible, the obvious answer is surfing.
Most sports are worse when you add in animal cruelty imo
I'd argue that most equestrian sports would be better with bicycles. Bicycle polo is apparently a thing.

Roller derby
Curling, ice skating, synchronized swimming. It'd be hard to find a sport that wouldn't be improved by horses.
Chess.
I wanna see two nerds trying to castle while riding at a full gallop, trying to juggle the board on the back of a saddle like a first-time dad trying to tell his wife to hold on until they get to the hospital.

I do not enjoy hockey, but let's not for a second pretend that Polo is better than hockey.
I enjoy hockey, but I agree here.

Nascar
Does the horse ride along in the car with its head sticking out of the roof, or do multiple horses carry each car around the course? Or! Do horses pull a wagon with the car on it?
The horse is in the driver seat.
I believe you just re-invented the chariot race.
Tennis
Them poor horse knees.
Extreme ironing - and yes it is a sport. WE WILL NOT BE MARGINALISED!
Skydiving.
Pole dancing?
Bowling
Rugby
Synchronized swimming.
