CAPRIOLE Meaning and Definition

  1. A capriole, in the context of equestrianism, refers to a highly coordinated and powerful jump performed by a horse. This maneuver is characterized by the horse propelling itself into the air and simultaneously kicking out with its hind legs at their highest point, creating an impressive spectacle. The capriole is typically executed in a controlled manner, displaying the skill and precision of both the horse and its rider.

    The capriole is considered an advanced movement in classical riding and often forms a part of haute école or haute ecole dressage routines. It requires a considerable degree of strength, athleticism, and training from the horse. The rider must maintain a balanced and centered seat, providing clear and tactful aids to encourage the horse's impulsion and engagement.

    Historically, the capriole was developed as a maneuver for use in mounted combat, with its origins dating back to the Renaissance period. It allowed the horse and rider to defend themselves, launching a powerful strike with their hooves. Nowadays, the capriole is primarily performed as an elegant and impressive display of horsemanship.

    In summary, the capriole is a highly coordinated jump performed by a horse, involving a simultaneous kick with the hind legs at their highest point. It is a challenging maneuver that showcases the strength, skill, and agility of both the horse and its rider.
