Manege
a rectangular or circular building with no internal partitions (sometimes with a fenced-in area) that is used for training horses, riding instruction, and horse shows. The floor is made of clay and is covered with a layer of sand and sawdust. In an enclosed rectangular manege the track is up to 130 m long, and in a circular manege up to 100 m. The track of an open-air manege is made of turf, densely packed soil, sand, or some man-made surface. Modern maneges are usually built near racetracks. The maneges most noteworthy for their architecture were built in the 18th and 19th centuries. The most well-known are the classicist manege in Moscow (since 1957, the Central Exhibition Hall; 1817, engineer L. L. Karbon’e, built according to the design and under the direction of the engineer H. Béthancourt; architectural details, 1824-25, architect O. I. Bove) and the Cavalry Guards Manege in Leningrad (now a garage; 1804-07, architect G. Quarenghi). Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | In a bid to mask the poor turn-out, organizers hosted the fair a short walk from the Kremlin in the 18th-century Manege centre -- a tiny space compared to the immense Crocus-expo centre outside Moscow, where the event unfolded previous years. The bear dragged his trainer to the manege border and tore his neck and legs to pieces. And the final fugue was a vivid and varied delight, with Falstaff earnestly lecturing his page that "tutto nel mondo e burla," then sweeping the little lad off his feet in a manege of pachydermous pirouettes. |
