Horse racing is an equestrian performance sport involving two or more horses ridden by a jockey over a set distance. Although its origins are somewhat unclear, the sport has been enjoyed by horse lovers and betting enthusiasts alike for centuries.
The Amateur Riders' Club conducts its Gymkhana Races during the month of April / May every year. Gymkhana races are similar to professional horse racing, except that the horses are normal horses used for riding, and the riders are non-professional jockeys. These races are held so that members of the ARC can get an idea of the excitement and skills required in horse racing.
