Equestrian Equitation and Horsemanship:

As we know it, equestrians are the lovers of horses and horsemanship. History of the horse and these things shows us many different and rather fascinating things from this exciting hobby. Horses in history are also in many forms, from the Eohippus to the Mesochippus and also through there domestication. There is the history laying in all most every fascia of equine and equestrians place in time.

Through points of domestication and as a draft animal, the horse shows its beautiful head in many times and places. The dog is probably what most of us think of when we think of a domestic animal. In archaeological evidence, we see that hunters were using these unique skills of the dog as early as 15000 B.C. Poultry, sheep, oxen and pigs were domesticated long before the beloved horse. How or question why the horse was domesticated in the first place, this must remain a mystery even today, it is highly likely that first horses were used for food and meat.

Seeing the horse as a draft animal, as best can tell the Near East was home to some of the first populations. Farmers were using ox as draft animals from early in the fourth millennium B.C. By the time of 3000 B.C, vehicles were used, these vehicles had disk-like wheels which were pulled by equids, these were either onagers or in some cases *****. Dating from around 2500 B.C, the Standard of Ur, this was believed from southern Mesopotamia, which is todays modern Iraq, there are depictions of a four-wheeled wagon being drawn by four equids. These equids were being controlled by a nose-ring. While the wagon driver is holding a rein from the nose ring, another hand had a whip in the other. The horse because of its superior speed, it soon became the favored harness animal of all.

As there has been discovery of equin remains in Dereivka on the Ukrainian steppes border, this states that the horse may have been officially tamed and ridden some 6,000 years ago. Horse teeth have been found here, these teeth show some signs of bit wear, and there are also two pieces of antler bone that have holes bore in them, these may have served as check pieces for an ancient bridle. The nomadic peoples of steppes left no written material records, so little is known of these riders. The archaeological evidence of these peoples at Dereivka suggests that riders and horses may have existed. These findings also suggest that the horse may have been ridden first, they may also not been originally used to pull vehicles as was previously thought.

So as we see in all of these things, Horses and horsemanship have a long relationship. It also shows that physical archaeological evidence comes closer to showing this uniqueness between man and horse. The relationship that horse and man have developed is a beautiful thing. No question about it, the human populations of the world would not have flourished the way they have without the horse. This should bring an equestrian experience for every common man.

If its only to read and study about the history and love of things Equestrian.

It still holds a lot of information and learning potential for your mind to develop on something new.

See the potential and learn about things that are Equestrian today.

The existence of the theatre in the city of Odessa began from the first days of the city’s foundation. The Opera & Ballet Theatre is entitled to be called the elder among a great number of cultural institutions. Odessa strived for the right of building the theatre in 1804, and in 1809 it was already built. On the10th of February 1810 the first performance took place - the Russian troupe by Fortunatov staged a one -act opera by Fralih “A New Family” and a vaudeville “A Consolating Widow”.

But, unfortunately, in 1873 an old building was burnt. And it was burnt completely. The restoration was our of the question. It was a tragedy, which was relented by one circum-stance - nobody suffered from it. It was suggested to draw up a draft of a new city theatre to Vienna architects F. Felner Y. Helmer. Eleven years have passed since laying of the first brick into the foundation of the new theatre building. And the theatre opening took place on the 1st of October 1887.

The building of Odessa Opera and Ballet House was fulfilled in the style of Vienna “baroque”, which was the main in the European art from the end of the XVIth up to the middle of the XVIIIth century.

There is a sculptural group over the front, portraying one of the muse - a patron of art- Melpomena. She is sitting in the chariot, harnessed by the four furious panthers, which were subdued, her. A little bit lower there are sculptural groups from the ancient mythology subjects. At the bottom, near the central entrance, on the high pedestals, two sculptural groups are set up, personifying Comedy and Tragedy: on the left - a fragment from the tragedy by Euripi “Ippolit”, on the right - an episode from the comedy by Aristophanes: “The Birds”.

Along the pediment of the building in the bays of the upper circle the busts of the brilliant Russian art & literature creators. Pushkin, Glinka, Griboyedov, Gogol are placed. The most beautiful part of the building - is its hall. Its architecture is maintains in “rococo” style.

It is luxuriously decorated by various molded ornaments, with the fine gilt. The ceiling is of a special interest. Four pictures by Lefler in the form of a locket (medallion) are in its basis. The scenes from the works are Syakespeare: “Hamlet”, “A Dream in the Summer Night”, “The Winter Fairytale” & “As You like It”, is depicted on them.

A big chandelier in the centre of the ceiling strikes by its drake of tracery details. There are many different stucco moldings in the hall and in all the circles.

The modeling in the circles is fulfilled with a special grace. Side lobbies and along staircases, leading to the boxes. All kinds of lampions, candelabrums and bronze ornamented inlays are originally and inventively made. Perhaps, in any of the theatres, there is no so tastefully made curtain, outlined by the prominent theatrical painter - Golovin. The area of the stage is 500 Esq. The unique acoustics allows to deliver even a whisper from the stage to any part of the hall.

The Theatre itself is interesting not only by us architecture, but by its rich creative biography. The great merit in the development of musical culture in the south of our country belongs, to this theatre. P.Tchaikovsky, N.Rimsky-Korsakov, S.Rachmaninoff, Ezhen Izai, Pablo Sarasate and others performed their works. There appeared on the stage the actors, who glorified the home art/ the great singers: Fyodor Chaliapin, Solomiya Grushelnitskaya, Antonina Nezhdanova, Leonid Sobinov, Tito Ruffo, Batistini, Jeraldoni sang here, Anna Pavlova, the first world ballet-dancer, had been dancing here. In 1926 the theatre was awarded the title of “Academic”. The theatre ballet group consists of 50 people. Among them such Honored ballet dances of Ukraine as Andrey Musorin and Yelenaa Kamenskih - the participants of the Farewell Tour of Rudolf Nuriyev, and others. “Jizelle”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Nut-Cracker”, “Don Quihote”, “Chopiniana”, “Un Ballo in Maschera”, “Hunchback Horse”, “Carmen-Suite” are in the repertoire of the theatre. The ballet dancers were touring in Canada, Japan, Vietnam, Ceylon, China, Hungary, Bulgaria, Finland, South Korea, Italy, Spain and Portugal - with Maya Plisetskaya and in Indonesia, Switzerland, Sweden and other countries. The opera singer’s troupe consists of 40 people. They are National artists of Ukraine - Lyudmila Shirina, Anatoliy Boyko, Anatoliy Kapustin and Vladimir Tarasov, the Honored artists of Ukraine: Anisimova Tatyana, Irina Berlizova and Nataja Yutesh, Pavel Yermolenko, Laureates of International Contests. Viktor Mityushkin, Shalva Mukeria, Natlja Shvchenko, Ruslan Zinevich and others.

There are 25 operas, such as “Carmen”, “Aida”, “Il Trovatore”, “La Traviata”, “Cavaleria Rusticana”, “I Pagliacci”, “Iolanta”, “Madam Butterfly”, Rigoletto”, and others are in the repertoire of theatre.
