Etymology

The word 'equestrian' has its roots in the Latin word 'equester,' which means 'of or belonging to a horseman.' This Latin term comes from 'equus,' meaning 'horse.' The use of the term dates back to the time of the Roman Empire, where equestrians were an important social class known for their equestrian skills and horse ownership. Over time, the word evolved to encompass various aspects of horse riding and equestrian sports, and by the 19th century, it became associated with formalized equestrian activities and competitive riding. Today, equestrians represent a dedicated community of horse lovers and riders who participate in a variety of equestrian disciplines, emphasizing both skill and connection with horses.
