Riding Time

About This Movie

Riding Time offers a fascinating glimpse into tent pegging, an age-old sport with roots in colonial history. The documentary captures the unique blend of tradition and modernity as it explores both the UK national team and the rising Pakistani British circuit. There’s something almost poetic about the way it juxtaposes the dusty tales of Empire with the vibrant energy of contemporary athletes. The pacing is steady, allowing viewers to absorb the atmosphere—the sounds of galloping horses, the intensity of competition, and the camaraderie among participants. It’s not just about the sport; it's about identity, culture, and heritage, making for a reflective yet engaging watch. The cinematography has a raw, authentic feel, which really grounds the film in its subject matter.
