Equestrian training gains popularity in China

It is believed equestrian was invented by the north nomadic tribes in China. Along Guansu province’s Hexi Corridor and Dunhuang area inhabited by Xiongnu, Xianbei, Tujue and Huihu tribes, plenty of ancient rock carvings are spotted. According to archeologists, these paintings themed with hunting on horseback and war-fighting can be traced back to 4000 to 10,000 years ago.
