Troika Horses
The classic expression, " What Russian does not like fast drive? " has long been in a popular lexicon. However, no one else travels on triplets except our man. Why?
There's a white trout in the field.
Eat so fast to catch the spirit. Touch Rusie's simplicity, suffocating from admiration. Isn't that the greatest pleasure? So, the horse troika is a really fast means of movement. It can develop a speed of 60 km/h. Where did this amazing tense principle come from? When did the troika come on Rusie?
Historians say it happened at the dawn of the 18th century with the development of the post office. However, given that our man is always “longer”, the rapid emergence of a new means of movement is unlikely.
There is a theory that the triple ties were “ukraden” (or under surveillance) and the ancient Russian Culta of Prophet Ilia, a character of the northern regions. It was in Ilin Day that we had mass races on the horse trolleys. Such a hindrance symbolized the " rotary wheel " , carried by the saint in Heaven. That's why the accident in the race was considered to be Blessing. The old men accompanied them by the words " Ilia took the sky " .
Innovation
Troika is not just a principle of combination, but a full innovation. What was it? It's about every animal moving its own allure. The central (core) is only a spray, and the lateral (cold) is only a galop, removing the heads to different sides and fully trusting the centre spray.
An amazing combination was that animals were saving their own strength. The coroner set the pace, and the sidewalls took it. So the horses were less tired, and the speed was very impressive.
Speed
60 km/h is quite a solid speed, especially in the old one. No string (solo or para) would have achieved that result. And if they did, the animals would have fallen from fatigue.
There's a story. In the time of Catherine, the Austrian King Joseph arrived in the capital. Mother decided to conquer his Russian traditions and offered to ride a trip.
The palace was caused by the most remote from the local boxes. The Empress asked him: " Will you deliver a visit to Moscow within a day and a half? " What did he say? Only a soul can be lost on the road. " By the way, the road to Moscow at that time spent two to three days on the consignment notes.
