>This article is about the riding as a unit of local government and as an electoral district; for usage of the more common homonym, a form of the verb to ride, see horse and related articles such as riding animal. In the British Isles since Anglo-saxon times and in modern times in Canada, a riding is traditionally a sub-division (especially in three) of a county, in Australia analogous. The word is a corruption (known since 1295) of the Old Norse þriðing (thridhing or thrithing) meaning a third part (notably of a county). The term was also used in 19th century Canada to refer to sub-divisions of counties - today, the word riding is a semi-official term for an electoral district. A common misconception holds that the term arose from some association between the size of the district and the distance that can be covered on horseback in a certain amount time.

>This article discusses ungulate mammals. For other meanings of horse, see Horse (disambiguation). The Horse (Equus caballus) is a sizeable ungulate mammal, one of the seven modern species of the genus Equus. It has long played an important role in transport, whether ridden or used for pulling vehicles. They are also used for food. Though horses may have been domesticated in one isolated locale in 4500 BC, the unequivocal date of (1) domestication and (2) use as a means of transport dates to no earlier than circa 2000 BC, evidenced by the Sintashta chariot burials (see Domestication of the horse).
