The illustration of jumps

The air readings practiced in Saumur are the courbette, croupade, cabriole. Only the cabriole, "the highest and the most perfect of all jumps" kept its classic style. A Saumur, jumping schools are without stirrups.

The cabriole: cabriole result of the almost simultaneous combination of a courbette and a croupade, the horse being on earth (sort of gallop two-stroke), indication of his jumper, it pupil the forehand, leaves the ground, then touched by the riding crop, detaches with force a kick, posterior tended.
The execution of the cabriole is very delicate because of the energy and synchronization.


The croupade: At the request of the rider that affects the rump with her whip, the horse performs a ruade energetic extending completely hind limbs.

The courbette: prepared by a balance on hips, the jumper, giving the legs of his jumper, a student in the front main building on the post. The horse rises to the sky, before ployés; rider keeps his position and is backwards from the vertical.

JUMPS FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL

Appeared in the Italian Renaissance, the air readings were used to decorate the choreography of carousels. They are allowed to prove the value and strength of the riders in the saddle and represented the culmination of dressage horses. One can imagine the origin military skips school. The goal was basically to get the horse in a bid war perfect and great handling, preparing riders shaking of the harsh struggle and the officers used to parade on the front of the troops, skips school were not used in combat, though the temptation was great. To be convinced, just the practice. When you know the preparation and accuracy they require, it is difficult to imagine to execute them in the context of a confrontation where speed and quick reactions are critical.

HAND BALL

Handball (also known as team handball, field handball, European handball, or Olympic handball) is a team sport where two teams of seven players each (six players and a goalkeeper) pass and bounce a ball trying to throw it in the goal of the opposing team.
The game has a goal similar to but smaller than the one in football (soccer), though as the name implies, the basic method of handling the ball involves the players' hands rather than their feet. The game has been played internationally since the 1920s.

Handball is played on a court forty meters long by twenty meters wide (40mx20m), with a dividing line in the middle and a goal in the center of either end. The goals are surrounded by a near-semicircular line that is generally six meters (6m) away from the goal. There is also a dashed near-semicircular line that is nine meters (9m) away from the goal.
