TENT PEGGING: ATTENTIVENESS REQUIRED by Muhammad Falak Sher

“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.
