10 Amazing Facts About Horse Racing: From the Roman Empire to Modern Times

Equestrian sport is a collective concept, which means sports games with the use of horses. When riding, the rider actively interacts with the movement of the horse. The horse is controlled by moving the rider’s weight, squeezing the hips and loosening or pulling the reins. The rider’s voice can also influence the movement of the horse, but not all equestrian sports are allowed.
There are horse races at the racetracks. As a rule, the sites are in the shape of a circle or an oval, but in England there are other options – open lines in the form of the letters U or L. The finish line always fits exactly opposite the stands, and the start, depending on the length of the distance, can be in the same place, and on the opposite side of the track.
To start the race, both a conditional line is used, on which the participants line up in a row, and the starting gate – a structure, the width of the entire track with hinged boxes for each horse. Thus, before the start, everyone finds themselves in conditional cages, which excludes false starts and fights between animals (and this happens, horses also worry, get excited and can “put someone in place”). On a signal, all the gate doors open and the jump begins.
