Analysis of Cultivation Paths and Practical Strategies for Fostering Sportsmanship in Horse Racing Activities

With the diversified development of the sports industry, horse racing, as a sport that combines both competitiveness and cultural significance, has increasingly demonstrated its value in fostering sportsmanship. However, current theoretical research and practical exploration of the synergistic development between the two remain insufficient, highlighting the need for a systematic review of cultivation paths to promote the industry’s high-quality development. This paper takes the intrinsic connection between horse racing activities and the cultivation of sportsmanship as the core research focus. By tracing the historical development of horse racing from ancient civilizations to modern times, it clarifies the process of integration between horse racing and sportsmanship. On this basis, it analyzes the significance of their synergistic development in promoting the sustainable growth of the horse racing industry, enriching the practice of sportsmanship cultivation in society, and inheriting and innovating the cultural connotations of horse racing. From the three dimensions of cognition, institution, and practice, it further examines the current problems in fostering sportsmanship in horse racing, and, in combination with the practical realities of industry development, proposes cultivation paths and practical strategies to provide guidance for both the development of the horse racing industry and the practice of sportsmanship cultivation.
