the only Olympic sport where one athlete might eat the other
means Relating to horseback riding, or a person who rides horses, especially with skill.
from From Latin 'equester,' meaning 'of a horseman,' which grows from 'equus' — Latin for 'horse.' That same 'equus' is a distant cousin of Greek 'hippos' (hidden inside 'hippopotamus,' the 'river horse'). The English word galloped into use around the early 17th century, when 'equestrian' first described riders and statues of riders, all tracing back to one ancient four-legged root.
