We were talking not about what sport=* would be, but how to tag a practice pitch /facility that does not replicate the entire sport's regimen:
Batting cages, driving ranges, pitching cages, and other facilities that help a person (or animal) prepare for the true sport. Currently each item is defined in each sport's subkey - not with a generic leisure=* or pitch=* subkey on which sport=* is appended to.
With a sport like baseball, it is easy to separate batting cages or pitching mounds from a true baseball diamond - but most horse breeding facilities have a small oval for practicing running the horse. It doesn't feel right to say it is a track - as no race, even a private race - will take place there. It is for the horse to practice turing left over and over, to learn to be comfortable with the rail. I assume dressage is the same.
I put pitch+equestrian on the oval.
Similar facilities that replicate certain aspects of a sport without the aspect of competition might want to be tagged as such, so not only is the facility properly tagged, but not confused with or rendered as a proper facility for the sport (a racetrack for horses, a country club for golf, etc).
Tennis serving machines sit next to tennis courts in special cages, none will used for a game - just practice.
