This contest is fueled by the following news:
Equestrianism, known otherwise as horse
riding goes back to the ancient times when symbiosis of men and
horses started. Wild horses were domesticated and used as means of the
fastest on-shore transport before the invention of automobiles and
planes.
In military, the use of horses allowed to create one of the fastest and deadliest
army units - Cavalry. Its mobility and strength were used in a
variety of forms - from chariots of ancient times to modern Cavalry units. In other words, men and horses were living and fighting side by
side for centuries. But the true passion of this symbiosis can be best seen in horse
riding and racing which is both a sport and pleasure. Jockeys even
consider it an art, comparing it with dancing and theater shows.
This Saturday millions of Americans were watching Kentucky Derby. Even
the Queen of England Elizabeth II attended this horse racing event as
a part of her short US visit. Street Sense won the Derby. This comes a
year after the tragic accident when Barbaro, the horse that won last year's
Derby, suffered a bone fracture in his leg while racing in Preakness,
and had to have a surgery to survive. Unfortunately Barbaro still could not fully recover from the
fracture even after the operation and was put to sleep in January
2007.
Equestrian sport is the competition in the art of riding on the horse.
While riding on the horse, the rider does not just sit passivly on the horse, but interacts actively with the movements of horse. At the same time, the horse reacts by adjusting the weight of rider, by contracting the hips and by relaxing or by compressing the muscles. Voice of rider may also play a vital role on the movement of horse, but this is not allowed in all the forms of Equestrian sports.
History
History of Equestrian sport goes back to thousands of years. Its requirement was neccesiated by the usage of horses in battle fields. Life of the rider in the battles depended very much on the behaviour of the horse, that is why the need was felt for specially training (dressing) the horse: development of strength, stamina, implicit obedience to man. The horse was also required to immediately stop, change the pace, overcome the obstacles, jump over the cross-country etc. As a result, these became the disciplines of equestrian sport. In XIV – XVII centuries, special horse riding schools started to appear, which were training the horses and horse riders.
Equestrian sport was included in Paris Olympic Games in the year 1900. Then the program included: individual events in crossing the obstacles and long and high jumps. Competitions in equestrian sport were not included in 1904 and 1908 Olympics. Equestrian sport was permanently included in Summer Olympics in 1912. International equestrian sports federation was founded in 1921 with membership of more than 110 national federations
