Equestrianism in the Kastamonu region has seen recent activity through both competitive sports and cultural preservation efforts.

At the university level, the Kastamonu University equestrian team achieved multiple successes at the Red Pony Cup Show Jumping Competitions in Ankara, securing two first-place finishes and one third-place finish. The team’s performance was supported by specialized facilities, including a 1,000-square-meter indoor arena.

Simultaneously, in the Daday district, the Halime Çavuş Women's Association organized an event to revive a 600-year-old local horse racing tradition. Participants wore traditional regional attire to honor historical wedding processions, with organizers aiming to preserve this cultural legacy for future generations.
