Hack (horse)
Hack within the activity of equestrianism commonly refers to one of two things: as a verb, it describes the act of riding a horse for light exercise, and as a noun, it is a type of horse used for riding out at ordinary speeds over roads and trails.〔Belknap, p. 224〕 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.
==Etymology==
It is believed that word originated from Hackney in East London, an area where horses were pastured.〔 Historically, the term dates to a time when carriage horses were used for riding. These animals were called "hacks" as a contraction of "hackney,"〔 and was originally used to describe an ordinary riding horse, particularly one for hire.〔"Hackney" ''Oxford American Dictionaries'' (Macintosh Widget version)〕The term also gave a name to a specific horse breed developed in England, known as the Hackney, a lively riding horse which is noted for its trotting ability and is used today for both riding and driving.〔Belknap, p. 225〕 The term suggests an animal of good disposition and calm manner, particularly one suitable for an inexperienced or purely recreational rider.
