Abstract
This paper constructed a database of the national representative level of a professional horse-rider by wearing a motion-capture suit attached with 16 inertial sensors under an inertial sensor-based wireless network environment, then made a visual comparative analysis through a few methods (graphical and statistical) on the values of all motion features (elbow angle, knee angle, knee-elbow distance, backbone angle and hip position) classified depending on horse types (using two horses named Warm-blood and Thoroughbred) and footpace types (at a trot and a canter) and obtained by various methods of calculating Euclidean distance, the second cosine, maximum and minimum values, and made a comparative analysis depending on motion features of a horse-rider by using MVN studio software. In the study, the experimental results confirmed the validity of the proposed method of obtaining the motion feature database of a horse-rider in the wireless sensor network environment and making an analytical system.

The following method is presented to make a comparative analysis on 5 motion features
Summary
A lot of people are doing exercises to keep a good body shape. Especially, everybody knows that obesity is good neither for appearance nor for health. In summary of the horseriding related mental, physical and psychological effects, it helps mentally to improve self-confidence through the talks with animals in love, learn social order in the process of horseriding activities and cultivate patience As it is an exercise of the whole body, it helps physically to improve blood circulation by using muscles and joints and general body adaptability and flexibility in relation to functional recovery, a sense of balance and a change in speed by stimulating all the nerves of several body parts. It is directly effective to correct body postures, enhance bowel function, enlarge lung capacity, prevent arthritis, anemia and constipation, build up courage, increase back flexibility, promote body rhythms and strength pelvis [1,2,3]
