As. people, we are mass with weight that a horse has to manage under saddle or in a cart. How we balance our own body weight either adds to problems that horses have regarding balance or we help counteract imbalances. It is sort of one or the other. If we are not consciously in control of our own balance - relative to gravity - then we tend to just exaggerate any imbalances that horses happen to have. The idea of a mass/weight moving with unbalanced forces of motion, or an unbalanced horses, makes no sense. The imbalance is only and ever exaggerated in that situation.
