Tent-pegging is an old equestrian sport, which started out when horsemen of an attacking army will send its best men to remove the pegs of the enemy's tents while they're sleeping.Today, tent pegging is practised around the world, but is especially popular in Australia, India, Israel, Oman, Pakistan, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The Olympic Council of Asia included tent pegging as an official sport in 1982, and the International Federation for Equestrian Sports recognised it as an official equestrian discipline in 2004. From the results of the 2008 International Tent Pegging Championships, the world's three leading national teams are currently Canada, India, and Oman.
