The
main thing to be considered when riding a horse is maintaining proper
balance. The rider is able to achieve this by sitting directly above the
horse's center of balance, which can be in different places depending
upon what feat is being performed. Since a horse can sense fear or
tension in the rider, it is important to remain relaxed and calm while
riding.Because
of the fact that a horse's mouth can easily be spoiled, a rider or
driver must be gentle with the horse. Proper use of the hands is vital
to the horse's well-being.
