Shopping Village, also at Olympia London, cannot be missed as it will provide fantastic Christmas gift ideas.Equestrianism, like a horse racing has ancient roots. Horses were inseparable from every aspect of the life of a human. Even though, the times have changed the value of the horse has not decreased. Horses continue to be used in public service: traditional ceremonies, police, volunteer mounted patrols, and so on. A good racing horse can cost up to a million Euro.
Presently equestrianism is considered to be an entertainment mean and enjoyment of both viewers and participants. Horse riding events were first included in the Summer Olympic Games in 1900. Since then, it has become one of the most popular sports ever. The horse is considered as much an athlete as the human rider, as the perfection cannot be achieved without synchronization
The grand finale of the London International Horse Show (21 st of December, 2009) will be an astonishing procession with many horses, top class riders, costumes and great music. It’s a great event for those who want to experience elegance, grace and excellence at the same time. More information about the event can be found at www.olympiahorseshow.com.
