The Horse should work harder than the rider, if the horse is working correctly, this will be the case. The rider does a lot of work to keep the horse going/moving where he should. The rider uses their arms, legs, seat, hands, and weight balance to communicate to the horse. The horse works also since he is the one moving his body in the pace and direction that the rider asks for. Horse and rider are a team.
A rider who has a balanced seat and good equitation should not have an issue if their horse trips unexpectedly. Good posture, a correct and deep seat with the heels down should keep the rider balanced even if the horse trips. If the horse trips badly and unbalances the rider significantly, the rider may brace themselves with a hand on the horses mane or the saddle horn (if riding western).
It is called a saddle, and is buckled on under the horse's midriff.
A sitting trot in English riding or hunt seat is simply a slower trot in which the rider does not post. The rider takes a deep seat and absorbs the horses movement without posting in the saddle.
Use of the half seat is supposed to be easier on a horse's back but requires strength and balance that a beginner rider usually doesn't possess. Lack of strength and balance will lend itself to balancing with the reins in a half seat. Unless the rider has the conditioning aat the walk and trot to effect a balanced half seat before they start to canter a sitting canter is easieroon both the horse and rider.
so the horse can feel the rider more easily and respond to the riders seat!
If you are actually riding the horse, you should (obviously) know which gait you are in. If not, look at how fast the horse is going, the rider's position (forward seat?) the hoof pattern etc.
Do not use your horn directly behind a horse rider or you will spook the horse. A spooked horse can be dangerous to the rider.
