]]>Horsemanship is the skill of being good with horses. This includes training, grooming, riding and driving them. A good horseman can be a positive teacher and trainer, which is important in the equestrian sport. Horsemanship is the art of being a good horseman, just as riding is the art of being a good rider. Horsemanship is a common term in English, whereas equestrian is more used in America.
