Musical Mats

It’s just like musical chairs !. Use a circle of mats as chairs, make sure there’s one less than the number of riders playing. Either play music, or use a sound as the dismounted signal (like a whistle). Riders must keep control of their horses at all times, and lead them to the mats.

The rider who doesn’t get a mat is out. Another mat is removed and the game goes on !. To make it harder or more interesting, why not have riders ride bareback ? Or try trotting or cantering around the mats to make dismounting a little bit more difficult.
