SARGA.CO – Planning to attend an equestrian event—be it show jumping, dressage, or eventing? There’s one unwritten rule you’ll need to follow: stay quiet.
Don’t expect roaring crowds like at a football match or rhythmic drum beats like in a basketball arena. Instead, the atmosphere at equestrian competitions resembles that of a tennis or golf tournament—calm, focused, and silent.
In this sport, both horse and rider must perform in harmony, maintaining intense focus and responding sensitively to their surroundings. Loud noises, sudden shouts, or abrupt movements from spectators can break that concentration, potentially startling the horse and putting the rider at risk.
Horses—especially in show jumping or dressage—are highly sensitive to sound. A single burst of noise can throw off their rhythm or, worse, cause them to refuse a jump, resulting in disqualification.
Spectator Etiquette at Equestrian Events:
Watching equestrian events is nothing like the cheer-heavy sports we’re used to. But within that silence lies elegance, power, and discipline—all deserving of admiration.
So next time you're in the stands, be the kind of audience this sport calls for: quiet, respectful, and refined.
Market value expected to reach US$1.73 billion by 2035
