>>866761Well I am interested in horse riding from a historical perspective rather than intending to do it myself.
I wonder how guys like say pic related would have ridden five hundred years ago. I've seen people do dressage and trail riding but the fighting of fifty of so heavily armored cavalry must have been an impressive spectacle. Quick turns, strafing and whatnot. I just never grasped how people would make a horse move like that, how much conscious decision goes into it and how much of it is just natural.
