Balance is used in the art of horse riding. If a rider doesn’t maintain their balance on the horses center of balance, they will be thrown all over the back of the horse and eventually off the horse. If you have ever seen a mannequin on horseback, it is usually thrown to pieces because it is too rigid. This is because it doesn’t have the ability to control balance, flexion or flexibility. Weight of the horse and the weight capicity it can carry is another mathmatical equasion to consider when matching up a rider to the appropriate horse. The calculation of a horses speed on a predetermined distance will involve the mathmetical equation for distance divided by time. There are many ways that math can be used in almost any activity.
