Dzhigit, also spelled as djigit or jigit, is a word of Turkic origin
which is used in the Caucasus to describe a skillful and brave equestrian.

The riders at full gallop stand up, jump to the ground and back to the saddle,
pick up objects from the ground (such as coins, hats, etc), shoot targets with
various weapons, ride hanging on the side or under the belly of the horse and
do other acrobatic feats.
