Erityisrittari

Erityisrittari, also known as a special rider, is a term used in the context of horse riding and equestrian sports to describe a rider who is not the primary or main rider of a horse. Special riders are often used in various equestrian disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, and eventing, to provide additional support or to fill in for the main rider when necessary. They are typically experienced riders who are well-versed in the specific requirements and techniques of the discipline they are participating in.

The role of a special rider can vary depending on the context. In dressage, for example, a special rider might be used to perform a test on a horse that is not the main rider's mount, or to provide additional support during a competition. In show jumping, a special rider might be used to jump a course that is not the main rider's course, or to provide additional support during a competition. In eventing, a special rider might be used to ride a horse that is not the main rider's mount, or to provide additional support during a competition.

Special riders are often chosen based on their experience and skill level, as well as their ability to work well with the main rider and the horse. They must be able to understand and follow the instructions of the main rider, as well as adapt to any changes in the plan or course. Special riders are an important part of the equestrian community, as they help to ensure that competitions and events run smoothly and that horses are well-cared for.
