EQUESTRIAN

Equestrian is a term that encompasses sports related to horseback riding.

History

Today's major equestrian sports can trace their roots to ancient Greece, where dressage was developed as a way to prepare for war. Since 680 B.C., when horse racing was introduced to the ancient Olympic Games, horses have also participated in the Olympic Games.Horseback riding comes from Equus, which means "horse" in Latin. Old statues of military heroes, such as the famous statue of General Sherman on Fifth Avenue in New York City, often ride horses. 토토사이트넷

History of the use of words

Abstract. Archaeological evidence of the domestication of horses dates from the Eurasian steppe in Ukraine to 4000 BC. There, Indo-European people rode horses to catch fish. This had profound social and economic consequences that led to the development of nomadic riding culture.

A type of horse racing

There are two types of horse racing: jumping and flat, each incorporating different grades and types of racing.

How to play

It involves the rider moving the horse through subtle commands. There is a required round with all actions pre-arranged. Then there is a freestyle event in which horses and riders perform to the music. If you do well, it can look like a horse is moving and dancing to the music.

Scoring

Five referees rate all movements and certain transitions of the competitor and horse on a zero to ten-point scale (e.g., 0 is "not executed", 5 is "enough", 10 is "excellent").

Equipment's

Needed for horseback riding are saddle, waist, stirrup, and reins
