The rider should not sit in the front or the back, but should be dead center, so they do not throw the horse off balence. Like if tyou sit on a barrel on its side and lean back, the barrel will tip up. If you lean forward, the barrel will tip back. If you sit in the center, the barrel will stay in place. This sounds easy, but it is very difficult to master staying in the center all the time, but it is essential to a good ride.
at the front
yeah It depends on their style of riding. If you watch international show jumping competitions you will see that some riders (usually German) ride in the back of the saddle. I'm not saying that's right but it does work for some people.
No matter what aspect of riding you do or what level you ride at you should always be in the correct centered position in your saddle. You do not sit farther back the higher level you ride at. Be more specific as to what style you are talking about.
Over long distances, it is better for the horse's back if you can do a rising (or posting) trot, standing and sitting with every alternate beat of the horse's hooves. In high level dressage tests, riders sit to the trot, and this is done before canter transitions in general English riding.

Horseback riding is considered a sport because it involves physical exertion, skill, and competitive elements, especially in disciplines like show jumping, dressage, and eventing. Riders must have good balance, coordination, and communication with the horse to succeed in competitive riding. It is also recognized as an Olympic sport.
It all depends on what you want to do, if you want to show you would want a trained show horse, if you just want a riding horse, get one who has a nice temperment and is suitable for your level of riding experience. If you just want to ride a couple times a week, don't get a high energy horse who needs lots of training and attention.
A horse that is under 14.2 hands high is typically considered a pony, as horses are generally taller than that height. Ponies are often used for children's riding, driving, or smaller adult riders. They can have similar characteristics to horses but are smaller in stature.
Riding a bicycle with high handlebars can provide better posture, improved visibility, and increased comfort for riders. The elevated position can also reduce strain on the back and neck, making for a more enjoyable and ergonomic riding experience.
they can be all diffrent heights it depends on how good the rider is.
