Hack (horse)

Hacks at a horse show.

Hack within the activity of equestrianism commonly refers to one of two things: as a verb, it describes the act of pleasure riding for light exercise, and as a breed (Hackney/hack), it is a type of horse used for riding and pulling carriages.[1] The term is sometimes used to describe certain types of exhibition or horse show classes where quality and good manners of the horse are particularly important.
