Not all of us knows how to ride a horse. It needs a lot of training and skills in order for you to drive a horse. They are considered as their main transportation in the early centuries, especially on carriages. If you watched Disney movies like the Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and The Beast, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the others, you may notice that all of them are not in the present ages. Their prince charming rides a horse in order to look after their beautiful princess, not cars or airplanes. Until now, horses are still in use for those who like to learn how to ride with them and to use them in the equestrian competition. Speaking of equestrian, it is a unique sport where you and the horse will take the challenge on jumping into different obstacle courses. A term called equestrianism is all about the skills and ability of you and the horse of responding each other in the competition. Equestrian is popular in the Olympics and mini-Olympics, where lots of representatives in different countries are participating in order to win the competition.
Compared to any popular sport like basketball, soccer, billiard, tennis, baseball and football, this sport has a lot to learn because it's not only about you. There will be no equestrian without a horse, and that's why they created this sport as a unique one. It will test different athletes from all around the world on how they and their horses will cooperate in terms of jumping into small and long-ranged obstacle courses. The common item that were used on the competition is the equestrian saddle. It is used for the rider to sit comfortably when riding a horse, which is very common to all of us. In a Portugal shop, there were lots of unique equestrian saddles that you need to buy for your horse in order to be recognized as a unique equestrian rider. All of the items needed for equestrian is very important, but you must give priority to your partner. You have no other partner to compete in the equestrian except your horse. If your horse is not in good condition days before the equestrian competition begins, you need to take action to give proper care to your horse.
Equestrian is a serious sport like no other, so you need to discipline yourself and the horse in order to be confident in winning the competition. It needs a lot of equestrianism for most of your time, which your horse needs to accomplish jumping the different short and long obstacle courses. In this kind of sport, the judges will deduct a point if one or more of the bars in the obstacles are touched or fall. The objective of this sport is to let your horse complete the course without any bar falling on the obstacle being galloped.
