A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, 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 spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust 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 !askusa@discuss.online


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.

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?

I believe you just re-invented the chariot race.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Biathlon. Would love to see a horse fire a rifle.

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

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 8 points 2 days ago

I enjoy hockey, but I agree here.

Curling, ice skating, synchronized swimming. It'd be hard to find a sport that wouldn't be improved by horses.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

Roller derby

Them poor horse knees.

[–] OriginEnergySux@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Extreme ironing - and yes it is a sport. WE WILL NOT BE MARGINALISED!

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Shooting. Preferably with an equestrian event style course. Would be rather entertaining I think but spectator seating would be…. Complicated.

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Synchronized swimming.

Donkey basketball is enough of a thing that I’ve seen it played multiple times with my own eyes.

Although it’s mostly for comedy rather than genuine sport.

That was a major annual fundraising event at my extremely rural high school.

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Math Olympiads (if the horses had to answer the questions, like Clever Hans).
