March 2023 Archive at AJ's Equestrian Sports

Welcome to the March 2023 archive. This page is a snapshot of everything we shared in that month. Even if you don’t see any posts listed right now, the archive still serves as a useful spot to check back later or to understand how our site is organized.

Why an Archive Page Matters

Archives help you jump to older content without scrolling through the whole site. If you’re looking for a specific tip on saddle fitting or a recap of a competition that happened in March, the archive is the place to start. It groups everything by date, so you know exactly when a post was published.

How to Use This Archive

First, look at the month and year at the top – here it’s March 2023. Below that you’ll normally see a list of article titles, short excerpts, and links to the full posts. Since the list is empty right now, try these steps:

  • Refresh the page in a few days – new content might be added.
  • Use the search bar at the top of the site and type keywords like "March" or "2023".
  • Check the main blog page and filter by date to see if any March posts appear there.

These tricks let you find the info you need even when the archive looks blank.

While you’re here, take a moment to explore other months. Our archive section includes every year we’ve been active, so you can travel back to see how riding trends have changed. You might discover a hidden gem, like a beginner’s guide to trotting or a video recap of a local show you missed.

We also update the archive with seasonal round‑ups. At the end of each month, we often post a “What happened in March?” summary that covers events, training tips, and gear reviews. Those posts give a quick overview without you having to read every article individually.

If you’re a regular reader, consider bookmarking the archive URL. That way you can jump straight to any month with a single click. It’s faster than searching through the homepage each time.

Got a question about something you think should be in the March archive? Drop us a note in the comments or contact us through the site’s form. We love hearing from riders who want specific info, and we’ll try to add it as soon as possible.

Finally, remember that our site is built to be mobile‑friendly. The archive page will look just as clean on your phone as on a desktop, so you can check past posts from the stable, the trail, or wherever you are.

Thanks for stopping by the March 2023 archive. Keep riding, keep learning, and keep coming back for fresh tips and stories from the equestrian world.

Were medieval knights able to mount a horse without help?

Medieval knights were well-trained in the art of horsemanship and would regularly have to mount and dismount horses with no assistance. This was not as difficult as it might seem in modern times as horses were much smaller and knights had armour which made it easier to climb on. There were also special pieces of equipment that could be used to help knights get on their horses, such as a mounting block and a stirrup. The stirrup enabled knights to step up onto the horse more easily, while the mounting block offered more support when getting onto the horse from the side. In conclusion, medieval knights were able to mount a horse without help.

Why do people think that horseback riding is not a sport?

Horseback riding is often thought of as an activity rather than a sport, but it requires physical strength, coordination and skill. It is a full-body workout that requires posture control and balance as well as core strength and leg strength. It is also a mental challenge, as riders must be aware of their horse’s physical and mental state and know how to interact with them. Horseback riding also has competitive aspects, as riders can participate in a variety of equestrian sports. The horse’s welfare must be taken into consideration at all times, and riders must have patience and empathy for their mounts. This makes horseback riding a unique, challenging and rewarding sport.
