Tent pegging

Common card · No. 451002

Tent pegging (sometimes spelled tent-pegging or tentpegging) is a cavalry sport of ancient origin, in which a mounted horseman attempts to strike or pick up a small item (such as a tent peg) with a weapon at high speed. It is one of only ten equestrian disciplines officially recognised by the International Equestrian Federation. Used narrowly, the term refers to a specific mounted game with ground targets. More broadly, it refers to the entire class of mounted cavalry games involving pointed and edged weapons (lance and sword) on horseback, for which the term "equestrian skill-at-arms" is also used.
