A Horseboarding “team” is comprised of one horse and two riders: the equestrian and a mountainboard rider, who’s towed behind the horse on a quick-release line no longer than 33 feet in length. During a competition, each team is required to negotiate two courses over a two-day period. The winner of each day is the riding pair that gets around the course without crashing—and with the fastest time. As you might expect, speed, accuracy, and guts play a big role here. But so does teamwork.
