A advanced horse-riding technique where the horse leaps high into the air and kicks its hind legs outward before landing.
From Italian capriola (a leap), from capra (goat). The movement was named because it resembles a goat's characteristic jumping motion.
Professional dressage horses can perform capriolets so high and perfectly that it looks impossible—the move traces its name back to goats showing off their natural athleticism.
