What skills does a horse rider need other than holding on to the horse?

1.31K viewsOther

I mean there are professional jockeys and show riders who must be doing *something* at a very high level, but I honestly don’t understand what. Like if I’m riding a horse that’s jumping over a fence, isn’t that all the horse? And I just need to not fall off?

Among other things, you have to be able to maintain your riding position during transitions in pacing as, for example, going from a walk into a trot or a gallop.
