trick riding

Equestrian stunt performance

Trick riding is the performance of acrobatic stunts on a moving horse—standing in the saddle, hanging off the side, vaulting on and off at a gallop.

The practice developed from cavalry skills and became a staple of Wild West shows and rodeos.

She learned trick riding from her grandmother, a former rodeo performer.
