Games involving horses find their origins during the Roman Empire when chariot racings were the most famous sports of the Roman games. 12 pilots in horse-drawn chariots had to complete a certain number of laps in arenas laid out for the occasion. The movie Ben Hur contains a mythical chariot racing scene.

With the development of racetracks and the competition between Englishmen and Frenchmen, equestrian sports spread massively in the 19th century. The first equestrian races happened at this period. As this sport became more and more popular, betting shops quickly appeared such as the PMU in Europe for instance.
