The horse has long been a companion of man in many occupations. Previously, these beautiful and stately animals were in almost every house, but now they can be seen only at the stables and hippodromes. One of them will be discussed in our article.
Hippodrome in Ramensky district
Ramensky hippodrome (address: Grazhdanskaya street, house 47) is a large complex that contains a running circle of three tracks, a platform, fourteen stables, an open farm, two water drivers and a vetsan part. All buildings at the racetrack are heated. In addition, there is a gas boiler room on the territory.
Eight stables are reserved for the maintenance of horses of a sports direction. And for riding, there are two spacious arenas. One arena is designed for competitions, and the other is for classes with beginners and children's groups. In addition, riders after two in the afternoon can use the third track on the hippodrome.
In order to work with riding horses in the summer, the Ramensky Racecourse has acquired several training sites in the open. One parade ground is large and designed for competitions and training of professional riders, and the other is smaller. It is usually practiced with children, beginners and young horses.
Horseback Riding
As at any hippodrome, horse riding classes are held here. It is worth noting that simple skating and equestrian sports are two different concepts. If a person came just to ride, then he does not need an instructor who would give instructions on how to work with a horse. If a person has a desire to improve his skills in order to further participate in the competition, then he must engage in equestrian sports.
Currently, the Ramensky Hippodrome is developing two main areas - dressage and show jumping. Dressage is a kind of dance on a horse. An inexperienced spectator at a competition sees only a beautifully running horse and a rider almost motionless sitting. However, these are years of training and teamwork of the horse and man.
Jumping is the most spectacular and traumatic sport for both the rider and the horse. Here the main task of the rider is to jump over obstacles in a given order.
Racing at the Ramenskoye Hippodrome
But the main sport for the Ramenskoye Hippodrome is, of course, trotting. Every month, demonstration tests are held here, where the best horses are revealed. Young horses perform separately from older horses, and mares separate from stallions. This is due to the need to obtain more accurate data for a particular age group of horses.
In general, we can say that the leading place in the Russian "equestrian world" is occupied precisely by the Ramensky Hippodrome.
Horseback riding
Usually a person who has never mounted a horse thinks that riding is an easy task, which does not require physical expenses and knowledge from the rider. But in fact, it turns out that running a horse is one of the most difficult skills. Some famous trainers equate it with art.
If you come to the Ramensky hippodrome, you will be picked up by a horse, depending on your physical condition and existing skills. Moreover, you can decide whether you just want to ride a horse or go horse riding.
In metered amounts, horse riding will be beneficial. During the ride, both deep and superficial muscles of the spine, as well as the muscles of the legs and arms will be strengthened. The initial stages of training should be conducted under the supervision of an experienced trainer. This is necessary in order to avoid further improper landing and errors in working with the horse.
And be sure that horse riding will develop not only physical endurance, but also such important qualities as composure and attentiveness.
Other services
Ramensky Hippodrome provides school trips. Here, children can get acquainted with the history of the hippodrome, with various types of equestrian sports and just relax. In addition, on an excursion you can see how horses and riders work.
If you want to buy a horse, then the Ramensky Hippodrome is waiting for you. There are always animals for sale - trotting horses, young foals, adults, horses that have already been hacked. The price will depend on how well trained the horse is. As a rule, the average price of a foal is much lower than the price of a healthy and hackneyed horse.
