Abstract
This study was carried out to observe the cues (leg and hand) and striding performance of the horse ridden by skilled and less-skilled riders in three types of equine gaits (walk, trot, and canter). This study used purposive sampling technique which includes 14 participants (7 less-skilled and 7 skilled riders). All riders were asked to ride the same horse between the distance consisted of a 12-m start-transition-finish point track. Two video cameras were placed 10 m from the sagittal plane of the horse's straight-line pathway. Results showed that there was a significant difference in the movement kinematics (knee angle) between skilled and less-skilled riders during the equine gaits. In addition, there were also significant correlations between the skilled rider's (elbow angle) and horse movement kinematics (head angle, stride length) with the horse speed. Therefore, it can be concluded that effective riding aids (rider's movement kinematics) will influence the better speed of the horse to achieve better performance.
