Saddle Seat is a style of horse riding within the category of English riding that is designed to show off the high action of certain horse breeds. In Equitation classes, only the rider is being judged, therefore any horse that is suitable for that style of riding and is capable of performing the required class routine is acceptable. "True Horsemanship" is described as the acquired ability to produce the maximum performance of the horse through the perfect form and control of the rider.
