Question:”Horse riding is a sport? “

Horse riding is a sport?
This wants to be a different item from the others, I am very often asked the question: “But the Horse  riding is a sport?”
Before answering this question you have to take a trip back in time, to the origins of the word Riding.
Riding is derived from the Latin meaning Equitatio Riding.
It may also be true that the horse riding more than a sport is a discipline or rather a true lifestyle.
Many people who are not so expert think that once climbed on the horse the game is done.
Unfortunately for them they are wrong, it was that easy.
Famous proverb

“Give yourself horseracing“

famous phrase coined by the fascist Achille Starace, who in 1931 arrived late to a fascist medical conference where he was one of the speakers.
Starace justified the delay, because he could not possibly give up his daily ride.
He began his speech with the following sentence:

“Do gymnastics and not medicine. Abandoned books and give yourself horse racing“

From there the sentence was misrepresented and every time someone calls us to give us horse racing its meaning is very different, means the inability to deal with a very specific task.
But before getting to the heart of the speech you can read this article here: the Stages of the Global Champions tour.

If the combination does the performance of the horse and rider will be excelled if you do not find the tune hardly be able to achieve good results, maybe you good but not exceptional.
In this sport one of the keys is patience, nothing is achieved with speed and especially the horse.
