Did you know?
- In Italian, the person riding is often called a 'cavaliere', which also means 'knight', adding a layer of historical prestige to the word.
- In Italy, the phrase a cavallo is used in idioms to describe being in a precarious or undecided position, unrelated to the sport of equitazione.
- The word equitazione shares its root with the English word 'equestrian', but in Italian, it is the standard common term rather than a specialized one.
