Equestrian event with Troyka.
Equestrian events with “Troyka” They are held in two stages. On the first day dressed horses decorated with bells and ribbons with elegantly dressed riders and their assistants leave to compete in figure skating, where the rider himself controls all three horses, showing his skill, and horses must perform various figures - «volts», «eights» and etc.
The judges assess not only the purity of all the elements, but also the overall impression of the “Troyka”: the horses interaction, their reaction to what is happening around them. The decorations in the same style for horses, riders and assistants and one suit of all three horses are rated higher.
On the second day of the competition held a competition for temperance. In this case, horses are put on a running sled, injury protection devices, rider and assistants wear a simple sports uniform with helmets. Here the helpers actively assist the rider in control: while the rider controls the running wild trotter root, the helpers keep under control the galloping stallions.
