Abstract: Let $(X,mathfrakB,mu)$ be a Borel probability space. Let $T_n:XightarrowX$ be a sequence of continuous transformations on $X$. Let $u$ be a probability measure on $X$ such that $frac1Nsu{m}_{n=1}^N(T_n{)}_{a}stuightarrowmu$ in the weak-$ast$ topology. Under general conditions, we show that for $u$ almost every $xinX$, the measures $frac1Nsu{m}_{n=1}^{N}delt{a}_{T_{n}x}$ get equidistributed towards $mu$ if $N$ is restricted to a set of full upper density. We present applications of these results to translates of closed orbits of Lie groups on homogeneous spaces. As a corollary, we prove equidistribution of exponentially sparse orbits of the horocycle flow on quotients of $SL(2,mathbbR)$, starting from every point in almost every direction.
