trick riders
Horseback stunt performers
Trick riders are equestrians who perform acrobatic stunts on horseback—standing in the saddle, hanging off the side, vaulting on and off at full gallop.
The tradition developed in Wild West shows and rodeos, where riders demonstrated daring feats of horsemanship: The trick riders opened the rodeo with a spectacular display.
