“Tent Pegging” as the name suggests is a sport of the cavaliers, it is a cavalry sport of
removing wooden ‘tent pegs’ positioned in the ground from the back of a galloping horse
using a sword or lance. Since the inception of the sport, the greatest challenge of a
horseman hinges on the horseman’s arm movement matching the movement of the horse.
Therefore, success in this sport is based on the rider’s agility, aptness, and intensity of the
hit.
