(Reminds me a bit of a Shepherd-Husky cross we had who could “peel” a brand new tennis ball in under 30 seconds. Never got to the playing-catch part with any new ball, he but made us laugh like crazy as he ravaged his new prey.)
Nightly I play mouse with my 2 younger kitties. Rolling and tossing their favorite toys up and down the hallway (as I brush my teeth). It tires them out!
Burro Racing. A donkey and a human are partners in a brutal cross-country mountain race that is much harder on the humans than the donkeys — and the donkey is in charge. Read the book “Running with Sherman.” (While you can borrow or rent a burro for the race, the real players live with and train with their partners)

So many can be played with animals. Don’t expect them to hold cards.

Playing with your dog or cat is good for you and them.

Goat Yoga…well, it can’t be very meditative so might as well call it a sport.

Baseball and football are played with horses and pigs.

Does sport fishing count? (I am against catch-and-release. If you’re going to cut the fish’s mouth with a hook, at least humanely kill and eat them)

Horse is a version of basketball—but it’s really a spelling game. Would a spelling bee count? :-)

Now that I think about it, I remember that in polo the real athletes are the ‘ponies’.

I guess y’all have never been to a rodeo and watched bull riding and calf roping. Then there is barrell racing.

Why does the Puppy Bowl come to mind? It’s not played with humans, but sometimes its more interesting than the human game in the other channel.

I imagine Sirius would make a rather good agility dog.
