Definition
A series of jumping movements performed by a horse where the front legs are lifted high and the hind legs follow, creating a bouncing effect.
Etymology
From French 'courbette,' derived from Italian 'corvetta,' which comes from Latin 'curvus' (curved). The term evolved to describe the curved, arching movement of horses in classical dressage.
Kelly Says
Medieval cavalry riders developed these precise movements not just for show—courbettes trained horses to move defensively in battle by keeping them balanced and ready to change direction instantly, turning equestrian grace into ancient military strategy.
