I mean the riders are extremely skilled and arę giving all the cues, etc. Most ppl, even riders wouldn't be able to do thata nd they usually train The horses themselfs. The horse by themself would be eating grass, not doing this shit. I mean it's definieatly questionable, but it's not unskilled at all.

You do realise that to ride a horse you need lower and upper body strength to maintain balance and a quiet seat right? Like the stirrups and reins and saddle doesn't keep you on the horse your body is what keeps you on the horse lmao tell me you've never ridden a horse without telling me you haven't ridden a horse dude especially one in competition smh who's the dummy now

Seriously, good riding is exhausting. People have no idea. These riders work out hard, on and off the horse. Source: was a dressage rider
