What is Tent Pegging?
Tent pegging is one of the oldest equestrian sports in the world — a breathtaking display of horsemanship in which a rider at full gallop uses a lance or sword to strike, pierce and carry away a small target peg fixed in the ground. Precision meets raw speed in a matter of seconds.
Rooted in centuries of cavalry heritage across South Asia, the Middle East and beyond, it remains a celebrated test of courage, timing and the deep bond between horse and rider. On 19 July 2026, for the very first time, this thrilling tradition came to London.
Thundering hooves, dazzling skill and a festival atmosphere for all ages — a day spent feeling the speed and witnessing the tradition first-hand.
That's a Wrap
Thank You
