I’ve never rode a horse, but it seems like the horse is doing the work while the human just sits there. I googled if calories are burn during horseback riding and I found that riding a horse for 45 min burns 200 calories. How is this possible if the humans not really doing anything except sit on the horse?

Horses bounce and sway. You have to stay in position, and that includes using your core to stay upright, your knees to grip and steer to some degree, your legs to “post” which means carrying some of your weight and smoothing out the bumpiness, and your arms to control the reins and so on.
