Опять выпустили жеребца для Барыни

Horse fighting is an intensely cruel and dangerous sport in which two stallions, also known as gamecocks, are trained to fight against one another in an arena. The goal of this type of equestrian combat is for one horse to overpower or defeat the other through physical force, intimidation, or mental superiority. Horse fights draw passionate supporters from around the world ranging from those that celebrate the display of the stallions’ strength and athleticism to those that oppose the practice for its physical and mental toll on the animals.

The origins of horse fighting can be traced all the way back to ancient Greece, where this type of equestrian entertainment was often held in an amphitheater or stadium. Traditionally, these equestrian events were held in celebration of religious holidays or in commemoration of important victories. The fights could sometimes last up to hours, during which time the horses had to demonstrate their strength, power, and agility. By the Middle Ages, horse fighting had become a popular form of entertainment for all classes of society, but only the wealthy were able to afford the expenses associated with preparation, training and participation.
