Body System Involved in Riding Horses
When I want to go ride, the first thing I have to do is go get my horse out of the pasture. I have to then bring her in and get my tack for the tack room which includes my saddle, girth, bridle, pads, boots, chaps, and helmet. Before I can go and put the tack on I have to brush her down, and also pick out her feet. Not only do I have to deal with all the yucky dirt all over her, but I have to deal with the mud and dirt in her feet. After tacking up I head down to the ring to get on, where I than drop my stirrups down and head to the mounting block. While getting on I place my left foot in one stirrup and swing my right foot over. From there I flat her around walk, trotting, and cantering.
There are many different body systems involved in the process that I described. From walking out to the pasture to getting my horse to going to get my tack in the tack room it involves many different systems. To be standing and walking involves the skeletal system and muscular system. The skeleton supports the body, and the skeletal muscles attached to the leg bones work together to get the legs to move. Muscles are paired up into complementary pairs so that when one muscle contracts, it gets to move a certain way. Contracting the opposite muscles gets the bones to move a different way. The nervous system is also involved, it allows me to see where I am going to get my horse, get my tack and to where I would like to walk. My senses allow me to send
