Original: A good saddle and sitting properly make horse riding simple and safe.

Best simple correction: A good saddle and sitting the right way help make riding a horse easier and safer.

Why this is better (easy steps):strong>

  1. When you talk about two things joined by "and" (a good saddle + sitting the right way), you need a word that matches two things. That is why we use "help make" instead of "makes."
  2. "Riding a horse" sounds a little clearer to many people than "horse riding," and "easier and safer" are simple words that mean the same as "simple and safe."
  3. "Sitting the right way" is an easy way to say "sitting properly" for a child. Both are correct, but the first sounds friendlier.

So you can use either of these:

  • "A good saddle and sitting the right way help make riding a horse easier and safer."
  • "A good saddle and sitting properly help make horse riding easier and safer."

Both are correct — choose the one that sounds nicer to you!
