About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

Equestrian sporting competitions have a long tradition. Various carriage races, for example, were organised as early as 3000 years ago so that horses and drivers could maintain their fitness during peacetime. In recent decades, show jumping has evolved from a 'gladiatorial' spectacle, in which only the horse's strength and the rider's courage mattered, into a technical discipline.

Problem

Equestrian sporting competitions have a long tradition. Various carriage races, for example, were organised as early as 3000 years ago so that horses and drivers could maintain their fitness during peacetime. Today, when horses are used primarily in sport, competitions serve the function of selecting the best for the preservation of the breed.

Solution and Method

Show jumping has evolved in recent decades from a 'gladiatorial' spectacle, in which only the horse's strength and the rider's courage mattered, into a technical discipline. The safety of horse and rider is paramount, which is why this discipline offers us primarily great aesthetic pleasure in observing their harmony. The obstacles are just as high as before, only much safer, whilst the course design itself is technically far more demanding.

It requires great feel and knowledge from the rider, and great training from the horse, which can only be achieved through patient and long-term work. The author of the diploma thesis presented this 'hard' work, both of the rider and the horse, as they prepare for participation in a regional show jumping tournament, which will take place at Meljski hrib in the Karlo Equestrian Club. She also presented all the costs directly associated with the participation itself.
