	Common Riding in the Scottish Borders
		In a series of events unique to the Scottish borderlands, the region's historic towns commemorate their history, legends and traditions with a succession of colourful festivals known as the Common Ridings.
		Common Ridings can be traced back to the 13th and 14th centuries when the border lands were in constant upheaval during the long wars with England and because of the tribal custom of plunder and cattle thieving, known as reiving (the ancient word for robbing) that was commonplace amongst the major Borders families.
		In such lawless times, townspeople would ride their boundaries, or 'marches', to protect their common lands and prevent encroachment by neighbouring landlords.

		This makes the sitting trot impossible to ride because you'll be bounced all over the place, and your horse will not be happy because he can feel your every move through his back!
