FAQs

Why does Equestrian Sports stand alone as its own athlete category?

Horse racing and equestrian sport broadly are a major global discipline expected to grow well beyond its single current member.

This subcategory groups athletes who competed on horseback, such as jockeys in Thoroughbred horse racing. It is kept standalone on the same future-growth justification as Motorsport: horse racing and equestrian sport broadly are a major global discipline this atlas will add many more athletes to, even though only one member is live today.
