About Horse Fighting

Horses are herd animals, and in natural circumstances will not only engage in battle for leadership of their group, but also for mating purposes.

In this environment, stallions (dominant males) do not fight to the death, but until one of them backs down or flees. This is nature's way of ensuring that the strongest bloodlines are responsible for the procreation of their kind.

Horse fighting, or horse-to-horse combat, is a barbaric spectator sport where these circumstances are simulated in order to make two stallions, fight each other in a controlled environment.

Events are conducted before cheering crowds who are stimulated by the blood, gore, fury and intensity of the contest.


Horse fighting takes place in Asian countries around the world.  Although considered a cultural event, gambling is a key ingredient to its continuation.
