It was most likely racing or polo, though dressage might be considered as well.
Racing derived from impromptu competitions, both on horseback and in chariots. Both chariot and mounted horse racing were part of the ancient Olympics in the 7th century BC.
Polo is believed to have originated around the 6th century BC in Persia, though some believe it may have been played much earlier.
Dressage is also among the oldest, with the earliest complete writings recorded by Xenophon, a Greek cavalry officer who lived from 430 to 355 BC. However, "dressage" was mostly used as a training technique for cavalry horses in those days, not necessarily practiced for competition, so I'm not sure if it would be considered "sport."
