Horse Racing

Horse Jumping sees horses jump obstacles as quickly as possible without knocking them down; combining the rider’s skill and the horse’s muscular strength.

History
Riding as an equestrian sport was initiated in the mid 19th century during mounted hunts in the English countryside, where natural obstacles like brush fences, ditches and walls had to be negotiated. It’s development into an international sport competition was heralded by its inclusion in the 1900 Olympics, when men and women competed in the Paris Olympics.
