In Britain, the word “sport” is used generally to describe such activities as organized outdoor games, athletics, field or country sports, indoor games, aquatic sports, and such popular pursuits as horse-racing, dog-racing, show jumping, riding, boxing, rock climbing, motor racing, cycling and rifle shooting as well as those (for instance, archery, fencing, gliding and ice-skating) which, although less popular judged by the number of participants and spectators, all have their own devotees. Those who engage in sport may be professionals (that is, paid players) or amateurs. Professionals keep up the technical standards of the sports in which they take part and spectators make a vital contribution by their enthusiasm and their financial support; but the sporting life of Britain derives its character principally from the amateur element - people who devote time and energy to organising sport and to teaching and training, as well as the many thousands of all ages who engage in sport for pleasure alone.

In 1700, Henri Misson, a Frenchman, visiting Britain, asked villagers why they had horseshoes nailed above their doors. They said it was to keep witches away. Horseshoes are made of iron and the strength of the iron was thought to protect from evil. Still today they are thought to bring good luck and many brides carry silver ones at their weddings. The position of the horseshoe is very important. It must point upwards like a cup so that the luck cannot fall out.
