how do people burn calories when horseback riding?

998 views

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?

If you just sit there, you’re in for a very bumpy ride. You use your legs a lot as shock absorbers. And that’s just for starters, but I’ve only ridden a few times, so others can provide a lot more details.
