Horsemanship

Horsemanship developed out of need as the ability to ride with the most caution and least amount of disturbance to the horse. Prior to the 20th century, only the cavalry, cowboys, and other people whose jobs required them to ride horses, as well as the rich who rode for recreation, were allowed to ride.

Even while horses are no longer used in battle and hunting and polo are typically the preserve of the wealthy, high-caliber horse exhibitions, in which show jumping is unquestionably the most well-liked competition, are now given great respect. Although riding and horsemanship have continued to be prized social skills and status symbols, a much wider range of people now have access to these activities thanks to the creation of numerous new riding clubs and stables.

Equestrian abilities, like any sport, take years of effort to master, especially while trying to stay in the saddle on a horse riding at breakneck speed. Moreover, it would have been a difficult task for any rider to accurately shoot a moving target while mounted.

Despite the fact that most actors inflate their résumé, lying about riding a horse is never a good idea. Ask Johnny Depp, please. Depp, who was 50 at the time, nearly died after falling from his horse while The Lone Ranger was being filmed in 2013, a disaster that emphasizes the need for skilled "wranglers" to act as stunt doubles.
