Horseback riding is a unique discipline based on the symbiosis between human and animal, the rider, the horse, the saddle, and the environment. All of these elements contribute to both the performance and the well-being of the horse-rider pair.

The horse's spine consists of 54 vertebrae. It starts at the skull and extends to the tail, playing a major role in mobility and back stability. Understanding how it works allows for proper adjustment of the saddle tree to fit the horse's evolving back.

Horse riding is a demanding art that relies primarily on harmony between horse and rider.
