Posting- Its a form of riding and sitting when you are riding a horse that is trotting.
Unless someone has been around horses or has taken horse riding lessons then they wouldn't know what posting is.
Hunt Seat - a style of forward seat riding commonly found at American horse shows.
Unless they've been competing with horses then there is absolutely no way to know what Hunt Seat is because i didn't even know before i researched it.
crop- a stick of leather used to encourage a horse to move.
Some people may be able to get what a crop is but then again unless they've been around horses or ridden a stubborn horse that wont budge, then they wont really know what it is or used for.
Tree of a saddle- the middle underside of a saddle
Again, unless your a person with a horse and/or you ride frequently, you wouldn't know that a tree is the middle underside of a saddle.
"hands" -unit of measurement used to determine the height of horses and ponies.
It would be very hard to understand what "hands" are unless you work with horses. But people who own horses or vets have to know how to measure a horse using "hands".

I have riden horses before, at least once a year and I still didn't know what these terms were. I suppose I don't ride often enough to really pay attention to the terms. When I was 12 I took horseback lessons which was so amazing, I had to quit because my little sister was allergic to the horses and hay. So when I came home she would have reactions to me. It is interesting to learn those terms!
