The best horseback archers of Ukraine and the countries of Europe and Asia will come to Ancient Kyiv to compete in the enthralling art of horseback archery.

This sport is incredibly popular in more than 40 countries of the world on different continents. Horseback archery is one of the oldest martial arts originating from very ancient times.

From ancient times, when hunting for animals and in battles with enemies, our ancestors honed the fighting skills of riders and well-aimed archers, which over time formed the basis of the equestrian martial arts. It was necessary to hit the target quickly and accurately while skillfully and steadily sitting in a saddle at full gallop.

Ancient Kyiv in the Principality of Kyivan Rus is famous not only for the recreation of the majestic architecture of medieval Kyiv and the atmosphere of Kyivan Rus. Ancient martial arts, traditional for Ukraine, such as horseback archery are also recreated and developed here.

The inhabitants of our country can rightfully consider themselves the descendants of the founders of the horseback archery martial art: Scythians, Sarmatians, Rusich and Polovtsians, Pechenegs, who without a doubt are our distant ancestors. And later, Ukrainian Cossacks were rightfully considered the best horseback archers.

In recent years this martial art is gaining huge popularity in Ukraine because it combines the incredible spectacle, romance, historical authenticity and sports excitement - on the verge of sports and art. This martial art has combined two sports: horse riding and archery.

Its uniqueness is also in that it combines historical traditions with the most modern trends. In this sport there is no division into male and female categories. We have full gender equality here.

The fact that the sportsmen will ride the horses of rare ancient breeds gathered from all over the world in the Princely Stable of Ancient Kyiv makes these competitions more spectacular. Some of the breeds can be seen nowhere else in Ukraine because they have been brought to our country in a single number.

The uniqueness of the Championship is also in that the competitions will pass in two formats: day and night– at torchlight, as in ancient times.
