What is the Japanese phrase for "art of the horse"?


Does bajutsu 馬術 refer to the use of weapons on horseback, or less specifically
the art of the horse riding and horsemanship?

I'm trying to work out if bajutsu is the horse equivalent to kyūjutsu 弓術,
kenjutsu 剣術 and sōjutsu 槍術.




My dictionary (imiwa on iOS, which I believe inherits from one of the online
standard dictionaries) lists 馬術 as the English "equestrian". Meaning, the
answer would be the latter of your 2 suppositions.
