Many people today associate the horse more closely with riding than with driving. This was not the case in Ancient Greece, where driving seems to have developed more quickly than riding. By modern standards, the Greek rider worked with very little equipment and embraced some methods that would be shunned today. Nevertheless, the Greek rider has contributed to the modern arts of horsemanship, and examinations of both his faults and his strengths can shed light on the state of horsemanship in Ancient Greece, as can be seen in these discussions on the mounted Greek and his horse.
