Horseback / Mounted

Horseback archery is a sport that involves shooting arrows from horseback, and it has a long history in many cultures around the world. Women have played an important role in the sport of horseback archery, both in terms of participating and contributing to its development and growth.

In traditional cultures, horseback archery was often used for hunting, warfare, and other practical purposes, and women were often involved in these activities. In more recent times, horseback archery has evolved into a competitive sport, and women have been competing in international competitions and world championships.

Women’s horseback archery competitions typically involve shooting at targets while riding at a full gallop, and they test the skills and accuracy of both the archer and the horse. The sport requires a high level of athleticism, coordination, and focus, and it has gained popularity and recognition as a competitive sport in recent years.

Women’s horseback archery has also been used as a means of empowering women and promoting gender equality in cultures where traditional attitudes have limited women’s participation in sports and physical activities. Today, there are numerous programs and organizations dedicated to promoting and supporting women’s horseback archery, and women continue to make significant contributions to the sport at all levels, from amateur to professional.
