Individuals develop visual skills whilst participating in sport. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of reported riding expertise on the recall of visual information relating to show-jumps. Relevant and irrelevant points of focus were identified in 22 photographs of show-jumps.Participants were students (n = 40) with varying levels of horse-riding ability. After viewing each photograph for 4 s, the task was to identify F1s or F2s from four alternatives viewed for 10 s.
