What kind of sport is horse racing? How did it develop?

Speaking of horse racing, Bian Xiao believes that everyone will not feel strange, because it is a sport with a long history, and it is not static from ancient times to the present. Great changes have taken place since its development, but we all know the basic principles. He always decides whether to win or lose by the speed of the game. Do you know what this sport is? How did it develop? Next, Bian Xiao will give you a concrete report.

First of all, horse racing is an economic activity that runs faster than horses and has the ability to control hands. The risk factor of this competitive activity is still relatively high. It not only requires the rider to have superb riding skills, but also requires the cooperation between the rider and the horse to be very good, so as to reduce the danger in the race. Then horse racing was very popular in China during the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has been passed down to the present. But in fact, modern horse racing was not handed down from China. It originated in Britain, and its competition mode and organization management are more advanced and scientific than ancient horse racing. Moreover, the competition forms have developed greatly on the basis of the past, and there are many classifications, such as flat horse racing, obstacle horse racing, cross-country horse racing and so on.

Secondly, the British horse racing industry with a history of more than 300 years has developed into one of the more important industries in Britain. Up to now, there are also some horse racing competitions and many horse racing venues in China, so the development of horse racing in the country is relatively good. In Britain, horse racing can be traced back to17th century, when King James I was in power. Then he found a place near London that was especially suitable for riding and hunting, and often slipped out of the palace to play. But because this place is deserted and inconvenient, the king felt bored and thought of horse racing. Then, because the king liked it, many princes and nobles desperately catered to him and took horse racing as a pastime. It was from this time that horse racing began to develop slowly in Britain.
