  • Race Distance
    odern horse racing in Japan had its beginnings in racing events that were organized by foreign residents of Yokohama in 1862. In 1861, when Japan was about to move from the feudal system into the Meiji Restoration, foreign residents living in Yokohama, predominantly British, introduced the first Western-style horse racing by establishing the Yokohama Race Club to Japan. Western style horse racing was held in foreign enclaves, and hence, unfortunately, very little is known or recorded about initial era in Japan’s modern horse racing history. At about the same time that the name of the Japanese central city was changed from Edo to Tokyo, Western-style horse racing began to be found in the major metropolitan cities across the country. In 1906, the government embarked on a policy which tacitly allowed to bet. This led to the introduction of modern horse racing featuring sales of betting tickets in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and other metropolitan cities, from which most racing operations benefited. However, this profitable system was short lived; two years later, the government prohibited betting and instituted a system of paying direct subsidies for prize money and other horse racing expenses. During this subsequent period of government-subsidized horse racing, prominent legislators, businessmen, as well as breeders, began active efforts to introduce a horse racing law. Eventually the government began to take proactive position to promote horse racing in order to expand breeding in Japan and to improve quality of the Japanese horses. In 1923, horse racing legislation, so greatly desired by the horse racing industry, was enacted and led to the formation of 11 racing clubs.

  • The Parthian Shot Newsletter of the British Horseback Archery Association
    The Parthian Shot Newsletter of the British Horseback Archery Association Issue 1, November 2009 Welcome to the Parthian Shot, occasional newsletter of the BHAA. In this inaugural issue we hope to give you an insight into the world of horseback archery from both a historical and contemporary viewpoint. In this newsletter you can expect to find articles on the finer points of riding techniques, archery skills, and opinion pieces regarding all aspects of horseback archery; including some historical background into the life and times of mounted archers throughout history. So without further ado let us saddle up with the Scythians - the original horse archers. The Scythians by Rick Lippiett Around 700 B.C., loosely allied nomad tribes conquered the steppes from the Carpathians to the Altai Mountains. The Greeks called them Scythians, the Persians named them “Saka” or “Saccae”. The related words derive from “skuza” - an ancient Indo-European word for archer (cf. English shoot). Scythians thought of themselves as the people of the bow and called themselves “Skolotoi”. Their livestock, which were their lifeblood, were fed by the grasslands; and thus the nomad tribes had to move every time their animals grazed the area clean. Horses were at the heart of this mobility Scythian Nobles - From a romanticised painting and nomads spent almost their whole lives on horseback. They were also an active warrior nation and the Scythian mounted Much of the surviving information about Herodotus mentions a royal tribe or clan, an archers were much feared across Asia the Scythians comes from the Greek elite which dominated the other Scythians.

WAM acquired the highly significant collection in 2014 from the Higgins Armory Museum and plans to design an innovative installation, consisting partly of open storage, with emphasis on accessibility, both physical and intellectual. The grant would help fund preparatory activities including specialist review of the collection, brainstorming by regional academics and educators to suggest possible interpretive approaches, and consultation with interpretation and design specialists to turn these ideas into concrete plans for a compelling and engaging installation that will appeal to diverse audiences. The installation’s core humanities concepts will be the contrast between the superficial purpose of the objects and their actual complex functions, and the meaning of their enduring power as symbols today when they are no longer in actual use.
