The sport officially developed around 1000 B.C.E. when the Greeks created a game that involved horses connected to chariots. Time passed and the game caught on with the Egyptians and Romans. Around 664 B.C.E., at the Olympic Games, horse racing became a sport of formal competition in which men rode the horses instead of using chariots.
