When compared to other sports, equestrian sports stand out due to the special relationship that develops between a horse and its rider. It’s quite difficult to become proficient since riders must first teach their horses to perform at competitions. However, there are occasions when this connection reaches unfathomable heights. In a recent video from Nigeria, a man can be seen standing on the back of a galloping horse rather than sitting on it.
A video of a Nigerian man standing tall while riding a horse moving at a high speed went viral after it was published on Instagram by Nigerian internet phenomenon King Tunde Ednut. In his post, he suggested that the northern portion of Nigeria may be a different universe altogether, owing to the clip. Since then, many people in the community have seen the video and have subsequently responded.

In addition, the internet has been left baffled by a video of a guy riding a large horse by standing on it with apparent ease as it speeds.
