👉 The term "arbalestre" is a French term that translates to "wooden horseback" in English. It refers to a type of horseback riding device used by riders who are not skilled in riding on horseback but can ride on their own. The horse is often pulled by a rider with a long rope, and the rider stands on a wooden platform called a "barrage." This allows for a more open and less risky approach to riding than traditional horseback riding methods.
