Hi Steve
سوارکاری یا اسب دوانی
means Horse riding which used to be a wholesome entertainment in Persia. Even after the penetration of Islam into our country, we have been hearing myriads of quotations on the significance of riding, archery and similar sports. nonetheless, they have become elusive today, and not having a competitor in Olympic Games, is a proof of that.
Here is how I would translate it;
In ancient Iran, dancing was of equal importance to horse riding and Iranians knew dancing as well as horse riding.
