In the center of the circle are three arc-shaped sticks, two of which are placed facing each other, and the third - across them. The philosophical basis of the emblem of the horting is based on historically known facts, the fighting traditions of the Cossacks of the Zaporozhian Sich. The heraldic circle of the emblem - "HORT" in red is the place where the Cossacks fought, and the color, accordingly, red is the color of the blood, to which the Cossacks fought according to tradition. The thickening of the circle on both sides symbolizes the rallying of the Cossack support group, the place where the Cossacks went to the duel, it is known that the Cossacks were led to the duel by representatives and comrades from the kuren, whose honor was to be defended in this Cossack fight. The center of the yellow circle symbolizes scorched grass, a place cleared of stones - a previously prepared site for competitive fights. At the venue in the center of the circle, three arched sticks are depicted, symbolizing the Cossack sabers thrown to the ground, i.e. disarmament before the start of the fight. The thickening on the arched sticks on one side is the place of the saber hilt. Two sabers are placed on the ground on the sides of the Cossack exit with the left hand. According to tradition, the Cossacks took their sabers out of the scabbard with their right hand, but as a sign of peace, they transferred it to their left hand and placed them on the ground with their left hand. Therefore, the thickening means that the saber hilts are placed on the ground by the opponents to meet each other from the left hand side. The third arched stick symbolizes the saber of the supervising Cossack - the judge of the fight, placed on top and across the sabers of both opponents. This sign carries the spiritual meaning of honest and fair judging of Cossack duels. Thus, the philosophical content of the main component of the horting emblem, the symbol of three Cossack sabers laid on the ground, is honest, fair and impartial judging of all sections of horting sports competitions. These combat traditions of the Cossacks are filled with an educational example of both the collective courage of Cossack formations on the territory of Ukraine and the personal feat of each individual Cossack warrior. They are reflected in the graphic image of the horting emblem. A person who studies horting not only as a sports direction, but also as a philosophical teaching and an educational system and a system of health improvement based on the traditions of the Ukrainian people, encounters the deep meaning of all directions of horting, discovers for himself a large arsenal of knowledge from the history of Ukraine, the history of the Cossacks and its traditions, the philosophical teaching of horting, which enriches a person as a person, adds incentives for mastering practical sports and applied skills of horting.
