Hippodrome, Krasnodar: address, phone, photo

Hippodromes existed in Ancient Rome, Greece, Constantinople. These places were the center of public life and sport. The word racecourse comes from the Greek, and means "a place for racing", since hippo is a horse, and dromo is a run. The very first Russian racecourse is not based in the capital, but in Tambov province (Lebedyan) in 1824. And only in 1836 it was built in Moscow.

In our time, equestrian sport in Russia continues to develop. And one of the centers of horse breeding and competitions is the Krasnodar Hippodrome. The governor has set as his goal to preserve and, if possible, increase the number of horses? And also to return this place to the title of the best horse breeding region.

After all, purebred English horses are tested on this racetrack. And so the hippodrome (Krasnodar) is not a second-rate place, it is considered a rather prestigious center for breeding and training horses.

History of the hippodrome in Krasnodar

According to the records in the Krasnodar media (in the newspaper Kubanskiye Vedomosti), the racetrack was opened in 1868, then an official poster was published in the print edition. However, in fact the first races took place here a little earlier - in 1864 (April 26). For the officers of the Kuban Cossack army , competitions were held in the wasteland near the forest. The first horse, which passed 4 versts, was rewarded. For this run, the winning officer received 500 rubles in silver.

But in 1978 the new modern race track (Krasnodar) has already settled on this place. Photos of riders who perform dizzying stunts on horseback with musical accompaniment, information on coaches, the cost of training a horse - all the information, as mentioned, can be found on the website http://www.khip.ru/.
