Why does a horse rider move up and down in the saddle when trotting or galloping?
The trot is a two beat gait and can be very bouncy.When the rider moves up and down it is called "posting". The horse's legs move in diagonal pairs when trotting. If the horse is moving in a circle the rider must rise when the front and back legs nearest the inside of the circle are underneath them. This ensures that they will have a smooth ride.During the gallop, riders do not move up and down in the saddle because it is a four beat gait. Instead they remain partially out of the saddle, which is called two-point or half seat.
