The program compared the horses’ movements with and without riders, with the most significant differences seen in the angles between the horses’ necks and bodies. The rider was modeled as a single-segment trunk with the knee joint fixed to a point on the horse’s side, and with the hip and knee free to flex. A simulation software program analyzed reference points on the riders’ and horses’ bodies (body position) during the jumps. Eleven horses were video-recorded performing six jumps each (three with and three without rider) for a total of 66 jumps. ![]() This descriptive study uses a biomechanical simulation to illustrate the effect of rider’s body position on a horse’s motion during the flight phase of a horse jump.
