THE RIDER: The rider is the pilot that usually begins to ride at a young age. The rider is the brain of this “athlete com- bination.” The rider must have skill and talent: an eye, and a sense of balance not to disturb the horse. He/she is the one who “moulds” the horse, requiring years of work, education, dres- sage, and patience. On the course, the eye of the rid- er and his ability to make quick decisions are as im- portant as the skill of the horse, his physical aptitude, his carefulness, etc.
