My Sport: Horseback Riding
My sport is English horseback riding.
3 Techniques to Riding
When mounting onto a horse, you put your left foot into the left stirrup. You hold the reins in your left hand, and hold the back of the saddle with your right hand. Then you swing your leg over the saddle and sit in the saddle.

When trotting (riding English) you do a movement called posting. This is when you move up and down as the horse moves.

When jumping, you rise up into a two-point. This is a when you reach towards thehorse's ears and stand up in your stirrups.
